C64 eBay auction with 2 Ultimas

[bigbee99]

Anyone else watching this one? c64 with a lot of CIB RPG's

 

eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190592082208

 

I thought I was gonna be a boss and snipe it at the end but it's getting out of my league now. I guess other people read the game list as well. I guess I can be lucky sometimes though. 5 hours left at the time of this post. A lot of nice goodies in there.

Yeah, I was watching it and hoping beyond hope nobody else noticed it. Right.

 

I think it actually went higher than the individual game values... esp. not knowing if all the contents were there.

I counted right at $500 worth of stuff in it, and that was a modest quote pricing the 2 Ultimas at $50 each. I found my price list I saved in notepad of this auction...

I found the auction early and priced everything. Of course those are CIB quotes. I think the $1 shipping charge really made the auction stand out though.

Right, which isn't really $1 shipping cost (according to the seller's intentions): "We can talk about this when the auction i sover to determine shipping costs."

 

Clearly not a good idea to try to haggle shipping costs after the auction end with that $1 in there... not clean, ebay may not support the seller on that one!

I did message the seller before I started bidding to find out how much it weighed just so I didn't get creamed on the shipping. That way I would have an idea of what he wanted to charge. I don't think the seller knew what they had though or Ultima would have been in the title of the auction. When it hit $500 I'm not sure the seller would mind the $1 shipping any more. Either way, I didn't win that one, so it's not my battle
