EricDeLee Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yep... tell me about it. I always wanted that... or the Blue bubble top stand... or the minicade Vectrex. Now one of them pops up after I sell off my collection! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Funny thing... I've sold off my Vectrex collection 3 times now. The last one was much more complete... All in time... all in time Right now I just don't have a place to put anything. I want a MAME machine, but have no real room for it unless I throw it in the kiddos room or something. So, unless a kiddo moves out or I get a bigger house, it just won't happen right now. I have to focus on a few things rather than a broad stroke of things like I was doing in the past. Lynx and 2600 games... thus far that is my main concentration. Edited July 29, 2009 by EricDeLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sounds great, Ax. LOL Man I want to take pics of my games and post it in that new thread, but there just isn't a lot to take pictures of. Currently all I have is two big bookshelves stuffed with Atari 2600 items to the brim on one, and Lynx stuff on the other. Everything else is in storage. Sure wish I had a basement!

+Yurkie Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Some things really cause me to drool...Kardashian... Megan Fox.... and this...Vectrex setup That stand is awesome. I didn't know there was such a thing for the Vectrex. I remember when the Vectrex first came out, and how bad I wanted one. Hope you win this AX.

the.golden.ax Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yeah, even my wife had to concede to the fact that it was cool. I can't have Kardashian, or Fox, in any form... but I have her blessing on this one. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Okay who won it? eBay gave me the freakin shaft on this. Had one click bidding turned on... at three seconds I hit it with a huge bid... the screen goes grey like it's thinking, and then says I didn't win at less than half my proxy. Don't wait till 3 seconds I guess. Damn eBay. AX Edited August 4, 2009 by the.golden.ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 If you put in a proxy and wait it out 9/10 times people shill you. I hate auctions. This guy was local to me too... we were going to do an in-person deal. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thanatos Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yes, I'm a fan of last-second bids. Never been screwed with a glitch like that, I've just had people with higher bids than what I was willing to pay. But then I just think of the last second surprise I gave to the winner.

+Yurkie Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I feel your pain Ax. I was trying to snipe something awhile back, and was asked to sign in, when I hit enter bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I hate bidding early as well. Generally it all ends up to be the same in the long run. However, some people love to just see what the highest bid is and keep bidding in $10 or $20 increments in order to see what it is. Generally speaking, if they end up getting the high bid, the one they beat will put an additional bid in. But, if you simply wait till the end, you have a chance of it not going as high. I am shocked that this did not go for more. I was expecting at least $1000-1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Yeah my 3 second proxy was $1830. I'm kinda glad it didn't get that high because it would have been lots-o-trouble... (that's how much I could have gotten from a loan shark for my paid off car, on a title loan ) but I wanted it. What I need to do is STOP BUYING for a little bit and get some of my extras sold off. Thousands of extras... low on cash, because I keep buying. If I spent half that time listing my extras... *sigh* I'm mentally ill.

EricDeLee Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 *sigh* I'm mentally ill. AX Perhaps that will be my new signature line... LOL Sorry man. I'd say wait for the next one, howver, I'm not sure if that will come in the next 5 years. Not unless that auction sparked the interest of others that have one tucked away. That bad part is, you could have resold those gmes to make up for some of the costs of keeping the system and stand (if you had those games alredy that is). Such a shame.

Don't wait till 3 seconds I guess. Damn eBay. AX Aw bummer dude! I don't even know ax but I was pulling for an AA member to win this one. Auctions p*** me off too. I wonder if eBay has considered some sort of "going once, going twice" feature instead of a strict countdown? They don't endorse sniping but let's face it - a lot of money comes in at the last second. Imagine how much $$ they have missed out on because someone failed to get a higher bid in at the last second due to user interface failure?

That's what they do on my other favorite auction site (gunbroker.com). Bids within 15 minutes of it ending add 15 more minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
