Otherwise, you are contributing to driving up the price of your item sooner than necessary, and not to mention you may end up paying more than you would have if you had waited. In my experience with ebay (over 2000 transactions - not spinning my wheels just sayin), I see people becoming very reactive to early on bidding, which may result in over inflating the price of your toy. I typically wait until the last minute to put in my bid (if I can), and I literally sit and refresh the screen to keep my eye on the price (or prize if you will haha). Otherwise, if I do not have time to sit through the auction, I wait until the last day to put in my maximum bid amount and pray to the ebay gods I win.

Again, I'm not trying to tell anyone what to do. I'm simply imparting words of wisdom to listening ears.

Best wishes in winning the item, Archon.
Sometimes its just more comfortable for me to bid early due to scheduling difficulties. Don't worry. This isn't my first rodeo either.

Is it wrong I want to bid on this? I've never seen one MIB.

I would never discourage someone from bidding on an item. Regardless of if I wanted it or not. If someone wants it more than I do...so be it.

That's a great attitude. I didn't bid though for the record. It quickly went well above anything I was willing to pay for something I only kind of wanted.

yeah this will be a record setter.

I hope whoever wins is prepared to pay for it. lol.

The crappy thing is that this is going to skew the price of all of them. Loose ones will suddenly be trying to sell for $300.

Who knew that little thing could rival the price of a TMNT #1 First Print? I really thought the bidding wouldn't get any higher than $150. Shows what I know...

I'm probably the X factor there to be honest. As this is 1 of TWO items I need to complete the entire vintage collection, I would imagine I'm willing to do more than most for it.
