prostockmania Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 can someone explain to me why the crazy price on this ended ebay auction. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item2ebd30c692&item=200742586002&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=GBsIsfiN519bbKqxMXHhnLA5FGg%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Umm, yeah, I'd like an answer to that too.That's ridiculous. Either way, I bet the seller is VERY happy. Edited May 18, 2012 by JamesW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prostockmania Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) yeah, especailly when others ended within a couple days before and after around 15.00, I wonder if someone thought it was a real truck, or probably a kid, lmao.

JamesW Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 It honestly makes me wanna list some of my kits. There's obviously at least ONE person out there dumb enough to pay an outragous amount for a somewhat readily available kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 There's no explaining ebay prices. It all depends on who's bidding, how bad they want it, and how crazy the bidders are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Johnny Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Wife's brother-in-law used to have stuff on his store get bid up like that and 99.99999999% of the time they don't pay for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Funny thing is that there was 36 bids on it. I'd be interested to see the bid history. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The winning bidder has only bought twenty-seven items. Looks like he was in a bidding war with someone with even less experience than him. Purely a case of inexperience at bidding and knowlege of models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparmagiclives Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Isn't it against ebays rule to bid up your own stuff ?? What's the word for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The weird thing is on the same page another model of the same type with different box art is buy it now for $70. The problem with this is that some bozo will think that all of his stuff can be valued at theses silly prices. Also as it was said with the seller really get this price? Personally if I was going to sell I will find a local show to sell. The fees for ebay are too much and there is too much chance for fraud the way things are set up. bobthehobbyguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I think those two bidders were just prancking each other and at the end the winner won't pay for the car. Besides this, I think no matter how much you want one of these kits youve got to use your brain and realize that you can buy for a lower price.
