You think in the 5 days it's been up they could go back and tell my why it's so rare.

[GameGuru]

Did you check out all his other auctions? They shouldn't be able to do incomplete auctions.

[Flack]

What's funny is, the guy has almost 800 feedback, and 100% positive! It's not like he's new ... just stupid!

[Sylentwulf]

No, unfortunately there's a reason for doing this. It's time consuming, not worth it, stupid, and a pain in the ass, but there IS a reason (I just forget what, lol)

It was free listing day, and I think he's going to edit them, change the duration, or whatever else he feels like doing before the auction ends, so it turns into a one day listing. Or he was just using them as place holders in case he felt like listing something in the past week due to the free listing day.

So, hey, who wants me to test out my little friend?

I'm also looking for more clever and smart-ass things to add to the Me page, so let's see those DP creative juices flow. :D

[Sph1nx]

You're actually going through with that idea?
Lol. Dave you own.

[portnoyd]

Hell yeah :D Just find me overpriced auctions, and away I'll go.

I'll also be willing to make its_not_rare_you_goon and dont_bid-blatant_shill_bidding_afoot. :D

[Balloon Fight]

Dave, you do own.

Nice name, lol.

[portnoyd]

Update:

Time to fight insanity with insanity. Anyone have any other suggestions for usernames?

This guy is also selling a complete Fairchild Channel F collection:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4315&item=3068267642

Which, while I'm very impressed by its existence, seems too expensive. (It's not even an auction. It's a buy it now or nothing.)

Anyway, I was thinking the same thing about all the undescribed auctions earlier but he has gone and updated descriptions for many items that had been previously undescribed earlier today.

[Iron Draggon]

May I suggest this one?

That is a very nice set but it does seem to high.

Dave= :rocker:

[Balloon Fight]

That Channel F collection is in absolute mint condition though, so if you really like the crappy system it isnt that bad of a price. I still think it should be lower given the quality of the games.

[Kairi]

I wonder how long these names will last on ebay? =p

Believe me Flack, I'm not stupid. You don't build a record up like that by being an idiot. 8-)

Thank you Sylentwulf, that was my intention. I didn't want to miss out on free listing day, but with being so busy all I could do was blast a few blank auctions out there as I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to sell. I did update a few but not as many as I wanted to.


You think in the 5 days it's been up they could go back and tell my why it's so rare.

I actually WAS going to auction one of my rare controllers, either a 5200 StarCon or my Colecovision Questar controller, both of which could easily fetch a few hundred dollars each.

As far as my Channel F, I really didn't want to sell it but figured if someone was willing to pay that much for it, it could be theirs, since I really don't even bother with it any longer. However, it does have tremendous sentimental value to me, thus the high price! ;)

Hope that answered all your questions!

Dude, you need to work for eBay.

Then you could revise the Me page to say "Sincerely, the Official eBay Auction Police". That would totally rock.
