StanJr Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Best wishes for your auction. I hope the Air Raid goes to a good home and collector who will value it and not just try to turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philflound Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I have to say you did a great job with the pictures and description with that auction. Hope you get what you're asking. BTW, what is the reserve? Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, what is the reserve? Phil Thanks! It was only my second listing on Ebay. It took me almost two hours and I had to get my wife to edit it for me. Well, I am keeping the reserve close to the vest right now but I will say that it is a decent amount lower than the last Air Raid Ebay sales price of $2850.

Well, I am keeping the reserve close to the vest right now but I will say that it is a decent amount lower than the last Air Raid Ebay sales price of $2850. If your reserve is high you take a very risky gamble of loosing potential bidders as reserves in general let alone high reserves are a real turn off to buyers. The last Air Raid might have sold for $2850 but it has also sold for at least thousand less than that in the past too. I'd remove the reserve if I was you as you will get more and higher bids without one. Best of luck with your auction and welcome back to the world of 2600 gaming Playing Atari is just like riding a bike, no matter how long it's been you'll never forget how it goes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only found the final listeing for $2850. Do you have any links to past prices? This is not an item that I bought recently and am trying to flip, but I want to secure a normal price so any help with a reserve price is greatly appriciated.

Buyers don't like to be the winner of an auction, and still not win. A lot of buyers, including myself, usually don't bid on reserve auctions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lowered the reserve price down a lot to around what people have been offering to buy it directly. This way it is set at the max of what I know someone was willing to pay.

phaxda Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I don't blame the seller for putting a reserve on this. I would probably do the same, and definitely not reveal the amount. I am sure it will be met far before the auction is over. The game has been extremely well-publicized lately, the provenance is about as good as you're going to get,* and the seller seems like a nice normal person (a rarity on eBay these days). Best of luck with the sale! *Why yes, I do watch too much Antiques Roadshow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanman Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) I mean it is well over HALF the reserve. The bid price is well over the reserve already so I don't think it will be an issue.

It is not the person Wiz thought, but could be another. As far as your statement I can If I want. Another reaseaon could be, he Wanted to see what it was and then Decided to bid on it knowing, he could actually win it and not waste his time. :ponder: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
