I know it's only 5 bucks less but still.

Nice work there on the cheaper deal, spit. Weird though, I thought you had to outbid someone by 49 cents to jump them.

Only if it's the current high bid.

In this case, the winner had a high bid of $18.01, but he then placed an insurance bid for $21.01 (although it was unknown at the time how high this bid was). Because he was bidding against himself, $18.01 was still the high bid. Spitfire then bid $20.00. Because the winning bidder's older bid was higher than $20, even though just by a penny, that's still enough to outbid Spitfire. And that is why you should never bid in .00 amounts.

Hey kids, what's wrong with this picture?

Ah I see. Thanks for the tip. I won't make spit's mistake

Mislabeled, overpriced, and covered in ear wax

WTH that's just being lazy. The first picture is free for pete's sake. I can't imagine him trying to stiff someone though. He's only charge a buck.

And zero feedback. I will be surprised if it sells.

*Roseangelo* · 03-29-2008, 08:19 PM

I think I just found the deal of the century.

I don't know whether to laugh or to gasp. I'll go with...

People never cease to amaze me with their... greed? stupidity? or maybe the seller is just grossly misiformed

I'm guessing the later. But what makes it even better is the complete lack of a picture. I mean, it could be nothing more than Mike's knee or something!

*Ninjinister* · 03-30-2008, 01:01 PM

What a maroon....

A little *too* Raph · 04-04-2008, 04:21 PM

This is a steal at 129.00

*Spitfire* · 04-04-2008, 04:30 PM

But dude their vintage! They must be worth that much.

No, that would be if they where 2k3 figures...

A little *too* Raph · 04-04-2008, 04:41 PM

I'll pick it up just for the bear and the turtle in the army pants

*Ninjinister* · 04-07-2008, 07:55 AM

So I finally find a decently priced Bishop figure MoC (I knew I should have picked it up back when there were 20 at Toys R' Us, but I wanted Rat King instead...), and it was going for like, 2-something with a few hours left. I bid at the last two seconds and I'm like, yes, score! Then... I get outbid at the last second by FIFTY CENTS!?! Blarrrrrgh!

I hate eBay.

I knew this would happen-- but a starting bid of $150?

Is that the norm for such "items" or is this person living in lala-land?

*MrPliggins* · 04-21-2008, 11:10 PM

Yeah quite a few of these have shown up actually..I think I saw one for Buy It Now $249.99 too...

:edit: it's $200..my bad.
