More than double what these usually go for. . .I paid about $260 for mine early last year and I thought that was a bit on the high side. Looks like two somebodies wanted this one really bad.

I have to guess that eBay will take its share no matter what. How much would they take (on this one) ?

The problem with that is the person that wanted it badly shown their hand to early, there was over a minute left.

 

If you want to win something that you know others are hot on bidding, just let it sit, don't even register one bid, then at the last 5 seconds input like a high figure the tops you are willing to do, like $600.

 

Now because others are also sitting at screen watching, and most likely already bid on it earlier, they see it still sitting at $350 or $300 with 10 seconds to go, and figure I am ok, I put in a top of $400.

 

And then wham you come in at least second, and eBay auto-bidder kicks in, raises it to $400 but you win at $401 shocking the other bidders that they lost.

I do exactly that. One bid in the last 5 seconds for the maximum that I'm willing to pay. The rest is in the lap of the gods!
