Well, another thing is that auctions happen rarely (if ever) here on the Drome.

Well, considering e-bay is going to take their cut if you do that, I would see what it does on here...I'm guessing that others are planning on bidding at the last minute, especially those who don't know if they'll have any money when it ends

Well, I don't know if its better or not but I do think its cool that you have it here. I do think that you will get some last minute bids just like on ebay as there seems to be alot of interest for the figure based on your thread in the Toy Section.

Well, I'll tell you this much.....

I'd frown on you incredibly for starting an auction here in good faith and then not selling it to the guy who placed a "bid" above just because someone else didn't bid on it.

You made a firm offer here in writing on the forums, and someone responded. If no one else bids, then you've got to sell it to the guy who already bid in the thread.

I suppose you could be clever and register a new user name and place a bid yourself, but that would be quite obvious at this point.

Well...e-bay DOES allow you to end your auctions early or cancel them altogether, so I wouldn't necessarily fault him for doing the same, but I agree IMJ I can see where it would be kind of under-handed to do so considering there are no policies in place and we are for the most part supposed to be a community of people who help each other. Nothing wrong with making a profit but if all someone can afford to bid is $20, knowing well and good that they may be outbid, and then aren't, I feel that they deserve the item for $20.

I agree. At this point it would be a douche move to end the auction here to start one on ebay especially with there being a bid. even if it sells for $20 that seems like a fair price for a bootleg and you're not paying any fees to sell it. If I had Mike and don I'd bid, it's a cool figure, but I have some other things in the works right now. Good luck with your selling.

I have an extra Jim Lee Don that I MAY be selling in the future, nofuture4u. If you think you'll be interested let me know. I'd like to find the comic that came with my loose one before I sell it but if not I may sell it anyway. I know I've got that comic somewhere. And if I don't find it I could always buy another one.

I realized I won't even be home for a majority of the final day of bidding, as much as I'd like to have this :/

I don't believe any bootleg is worth tons of dough, though, no matter how amazingly spectacular it is (like this).

I'm throwing in $45 as my bid now.
