atari181 Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 One bidder (atariage member) retracted out because wife went "batshit" over his bidding (multiple bids). He was nice enough to apologize for it - THe other one I'm not sure about (says he entered wrong amount). I asked the atariage member to comment here to ease any hesitation. Any questions please P.M. One day left!!! That going Batshit wife was mine. She logged onto Ebay and lost her mind when she saw that i bid that much.I feel horrible,but I really like being married. I am willing to give allhallow $ to make up for it if it doesn't make it to my max bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allhallowseve2000 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 lol - Thx atari181. If I were married - My wife might have done the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Wonder007 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 This is very interesting. The three that have retracted their bids totally screwed the auction for Allhallowseve2000....that really sucks. If I were Alhallowseve2000, I would have not cancelled the bids because by doing that, you exposed max bids of the serious bidders. Now I feel even more uncomfortable to pursue this auction because of other potential bid cancellations, especially if I end up being the second to highest winner and then the highest bidder has a change of heart....the precedence has been set (and I would have to pay my max bid)........ I really was very interested in this item but I guess I'll focus on other auctions (do not need more headaches and surprises).....so, to the other (potential) bidders, you have one less person to worry about.... Good luck Allhallowseve2000 on your auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allhallowseve2000 Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Thx Jose, I'll take this auction as a learning experience. Auction Ends tomorrow!!! Good luck to everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Im surprised it ended lower than i figured it would. Bad luck i guess for Allhallowseve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 So who won? I'm sure it's gotta be someone on AA! Don't be shy, you won an awesome item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allhallowseve2000 Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) Of course - The winner stated that his child accidentally bid on it (sure). Anyways - the ebay auction was doomed after the 0 feedback bids and bid retractions. Kinda fed up with ebay right now, so new listing is at gamegavel.com. Also taking offers via my P.M. box - willing to take trades + cash. This is extremely rare as you all know and the possible centerpiece of your collection.

+evg2000 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Did you get a second one, since you're selling one on ebay and one on gamegavel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odysseus Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 They said that the one on ebay sold but wasnt paid for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+evg2000 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 He re-listed it, so he most have two, or if it sells on both auctions, someone is going to be disappointed. The one on gamegavel must not be as good as it's listed at a lower buy now price. "Of course - The winner stated that his child accidentally bid on it (sure)" - his kids accidentally bid on it multiple times it you look at bid history and view the auto bids, they had to keep bidding it up. Stupid kids, either there only was a way to stop them from bidding multiple times on items that they probably know nothing about. Boy, Troy sure has some bad luck.

He's selling the same one on GameGavel because the winner on eBay reneged (the winner's kid accidentally bid on it...7 times LOL)--which is probably a good thing, I would think, because it didn't go for as much as expected.

+evg2000 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 And he also relisted it on ebay today with a buy it now of $4999 . So as of right now he has either has two of them, or he has the same one listed on two different auctions sites and they are both active. So if he doesn't have two different cards it seems pretty shady, and possible setting him self up for legal actions taken against him if they both sold and he couldn't produce.

But betting there is just one, I would take the cheaper listing on GG I think he would pay around $700-$800 in fees if it sold on Ebay vs. $0 on GG. Maybe why he has it listed for more on Ebay. And since chances are that if anyone ponies up that much for it, they would come from this board and buy it on GG for a grand less. Hmmm.

kheffington Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Well if both GG and eBay are the same item, not sure that would be a great idea. If by some chance 2 different people buy it on different sites, it could get sticky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final value fees on eBay fixed priced auctions are: 8% of first $50 5% of next $950 2% of all else So around $132 on $4999 not even near $700-$800 PayPal fees are 2.9% plus 30 cents So around $150 Even combined nowhere near $700-800 but still considerably more than $0 Edited March 24, 2011 by kheffington Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I get for keeping up with this while watching American Idol Still isn't it 15% of the first $50? I was taking 15% of the entire price. lol. Sorry.

kheffington Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yes you are correct for Video Games it is 15% of first $50. Still with that price range it would be better from a eBay fee standpoint to list as an auction. The fees for the auction would be an insertion fee plus max of $50 final value. Putting a reserve might kill the bids but would only cost a couple of dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
