If you are a fan of lords then this should look very familar to you. The buyer mentioned 30 polyps, anyone want to split this?

:bigeyes:
That's pretty!!!!!

Hmmmmm....:scratch:
$16 per polyp


I might be in~

 

[heuerfan]

$16.00 per polyp would be nice, but i have a feeling this one is going to sell for alot more.

 

[DevIouS]

:duh:
You're right.

I thought the "Buy It Now" was $425.
:happysad:

 

[scarf_ace1981]

i know there are some big ballers on MR who can buy it and frag it amongst us. :lol_large

 

[Reefer420]

depending on $$$ i might be in for that 1st one...

Hey I was bidding on thoses, but they got very expensive and I have a feeling they're going to go a lot higher.

Also I don't like it when some of the bidders have very low ratings. Gets me thinking some thing up.

You're definitely right about that. Especially on high priced items.

"Shill Bidding"

 

[marrone]

Well I was going to pay $1 for the whole colony, I guess that's not going to do it. :scratchch

 

[scarf_ace1981]

i always watch an item i want and bid @ the last 20 seconds or so.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Report shill bidding to Ebay if you know or suspect it is just that. Puts people in check.

 

[coralcrazy]

haha if you split it i will take a few heads lmk..

That's everyone's method....



:backtotop


Now I want a frag!!!!

 

[masterswimmer]

I would be willing to go in on the first lord. However, I'm REALLY concerned about shill bidding like Mke and Brendan eluded to.

Zero and 3 rating bidders over $400 bids? Seems very suspect to me.

 

[heuerfan]

I'm sure this seller is looking for top dollars for these lords, probably $100.00 per polyp if he/she doesn't get it i'm sure they will end the auction.

I personally never worry about Shill Bidding, i put in the max i want to pay, and if i don't win it what can you do

:fishhit:

 

[fritz]

OT but I once sold West Virginia on e-bay.

 

[masterswimmer]

:fishhit:

I bow to the shill bidding police! :hug: :lol:

You da man.


FYI, I did submit a report about the bidding. You might not care about the shill bidding Steven, but it is wrong and could be part of the reason for these artificially exhorbitant prices. If I'm wrong about it, ebay will do nothing about it. If correct, maybe something will happen.

Understood Russ, i just know for a fact how much those lords go for and it has nothing to do with Ebay.
