MrRetroGamer Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Exactly but Steve was trying to find out how much I bid and threw $1000.00 at it without thinking that the reserve could have been that high. OK, I see now. I guess when you play with fire.....well, you know the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show, don't bid what you are not willing to pay I did pay up right away, though and I got the seller to throw in a number of reasonably rare/uncommon boxed carts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Not that I would advocate doing this, but since your bid was not at the last second (but with at least 12 hours to go), you DID have time to retract you erroneous bid if you had to. Of course, this probably would have pissed off the seller tremendously and possibly invalidated the entire auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, this probably would have pissed off the seller tremendously and possibly invalidated the entire auction. I'm not like that...I f**ked up and as a big boy I owned up to it. Fortunately, I had the cash available. However, I do have a nice BBSB to show for it :wink: I didn't want to piss them off anyway, I had bought from the guys involved b4 and I want to buy from them again.

sku_u Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Here's another recently ended BBSB: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3015530711&rd=1 I still think these are more common than Meteorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaManFan Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 $187 seems pretty cheap. It would have gone for lower than that had I not bid $185 with two hours to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I'll EVER recoup the $750 I spent on mine. Well, maybe I will in 20 years if bit rot doesn't set in. Maybe I'll donate it to the Smithsonian along with my shrinkwrapped Meteorites and Masterplay :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Weis Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 Here's another recently ended BBSB: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...3015530711&rd=1 I still think these are more common than Meteorites. $187 seems pretty cheap. does "seem" low, but then again i would pay 400 (if i needed one) for a boxed CTCW but not a penny over 125 for a loose CTCW!

landsmarra Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Guys, Just a really old follow-up here. I snagged this boxed complete CTCW and new Mr. Do for $350. I think that was fair. The seller knew the listed price was crazy and he offered it to me...apparently he needed the cash (don't we all). Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
