Bidding War

Check the bdding history. This is a veritable advertisement for sniping.

I can't blame these guys for paying that much for BBSB; I would be if it was the last game I needed for 5200, too.

Still, stop the bidding war you idiots!

Idiot A: I'll bid $1 over you.

Idiot B: Now I'll bid $1 over you.

Idiot A: Dangit, I was outbid! I'll have to bid $1 over you.

Repeat ad nauseum.

You'd think that "Stampznthingz" would know better with a rating of 483.

Seriously. I knew to stay the hell away from that auction when I saw those two going nuts. Ah well.

This is off topic, but the first bidder's name gave me a chuckle.

its pretty funny that the people in the bidding war didnt even win. Maybe just one person driving up the price?, or maybe to make a sniping advertisement?

I've been in bidding wars before just for fun. I find something that I want, I know the value of, and know I don't need, but can afford if I really need to. I put a bid in, and then if somebody outbids, well, the rest you guys know about.

Yes, I know, I am evil for driving up the price, but its fun when you are bored. I never go over a certain amount (basically once it gets to the max I will pay, I stop bidding). I am smart about my fun though, I don't do it with rare items or things like that. I always do it with very common items that I could care less whether I win or not.

The 5-minute until auction closes bidding wars are the funnest, because you have no clue how high the other person is willing to go up. Now that I think of it, the max I have ever done in a bidding war was probably around $15-$20.

i got into a bidding war once for a record i really wanted. the war started around $50 and we kept going till about $115, when i lost...thank god, two weeks later i won the same record for about $60.

That isn't a horrible price to pay for BBSB. That is one of the games that I really want for the 5200, but I'm not about to join a bidding war to get it. I swear, stampznthings and jerseydevil were going crazy over that.
