Sorry to hear. My guess 4800. Did you cancel the bid I guess so.

Last night was a mess. I saw the huge jump in price and got excited. Then I saw the bidders and got concerned. In addition to the "mistake" bid, I did not get a response from the the zero feedback bidder who had just opened their account. In order to keep the auction fair for the actual bidders, I canceled all of last night’s bidding frenzy. I will be monitoring the auction very closely for the last few hours. I just hope this debacle did not scare off the people who are actually willing to purchase the item.

Hey, even if no one snipes, 2400 is still NOTHING to shake a stick at.

Indeed, congrats to both!  Its a shame that Everhart never took the offer of a grand early on.  (snicker)

Not bad considering the last loose one sell for ~3000$ I think??

I though the fact an boxed version exist would have lowered the value.

I thought the fact taht so many have been found recently would have lowered its value, but not the case! Great result for both buyer and seller.

I was off by like 1300 hundred. Hope it goes to a good home. I hope the buyer is not one of those bum sellers that gives Everhart the run around. Ps. I hope whatever that frenzy was you did not cancel a serious bid and loose out or something. I would hate to see that happen.
