JasonlikesINTV Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 FYI, for anyone bidding on this Spiker, which is getting pretty high. After around $1300, there have only been two bidders. The high bidder placed their high bid 4 days ago. The other bidder has a low feedback score and has been pushing it up for 2-3 days. Their feedback score is 24, but they've only bid on two items in the last year (Spiker & Mountain Madness; both from this seller in the last week). The bidder has been making small incremental bids on both auctions, but is currently winning neither of them. It could be a legitimate bidder, but it could also be someone who's only interested in driving up the price. Again, I'm not saying there's anything shady here, I just thought it was mildly suspicious and wanted to offer some transparency. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the top bidder is on AA, they should cancel their last bid and let that guy get stuck with it. Thats the best medicine for shill bidders.

+Psycho Stormtrooper- Rog Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 I know that the (value) of each of these games is speculative, and worth what someone is willing to pay. But, it still makes me feel bad for unsuspecting bidders when they get bidded up. Ultimately, if its worth $3000 to someone, so be it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be someone on here years ago who would bid up until he found the high bid and then cancel his bids. He was an asshole. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi Folks. I can’t find any more the Spiker listing in the sold items / ended auctions. How much it was the final winner price? Could someone post the link? Thanks!🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the people out there that complain about "sniping", this is exactly why so many bidders prefer to wait till the last second. As much as I hate having to do that, you can't bid me up when I post my lone bid with 3 seconds left 🤷♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSRSteve Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 FYI, we just put up our seven remaining signed game box covers for auction. https://www.ebay.com/str/blueskyrangers/Auctions/_i.html?store_cat=35095264012 Should also have some random other stuff up on Monday, but most of it is probably not terribly interesting to this group. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonlikesINTV Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Sniping is never the cause of you losing an auction. If you lose to a sniper your bid wasn't high enough. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
