FND Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Starting at .99 But the reserve has not been meet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Reserves never made sense to me. Just start the auction at the minimum you're willing to take for it. Just seems like it serves no purpose but to irritate potential buyers into playing a guessing game. Or just use a BIN with a "make an offer" option. IMO a reserve auction is just a bastard child of a standard auction and a BIN. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Agreed. Reserve auctions typically push me away from bidding. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cvga Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 What is GSP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Global shipping program... that should not effect buyers in the usa though. Looks like he set free shipping for usa buyers. gsp makes many foreign buyers subject to import fees, taxes etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesn't start at 99 cents when you have a HUGE reserve on it. Talk about click bait. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Yeah, at $182 and still not met.... reserves are great for irritating the shit out of your buyer pool! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I would just start at a certain amount and have no reserve for this auction. That's how the fish will start biting. Just sayin. When I sell something on ebay, I never use reserve bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 He also get's to pay an additional 2% fee for the reserve listing. That's on top of the outrageous final value and paypal fee's he's already paying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 LOL, it is optimistically back at $550.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+stupus Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 After frustrating his buyer pool he may find himself not even getting the $350 later down the road....a lot of people don't like to play these little games... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I so knew he would do something like that when he had a reserve . Nice of him to find out the most someone will pay then relist it a hundred and a half above that thinking the highest bidder will get desperate . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwackery Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 It's probably been 10 years or so since I finished my CIB 5200 collection with the exception of BBSB. So yeah, you could say I'm a patient guy when it comes to acquiring this title. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep a list of people whom I 'feel' are 'sleezy sellers'* next to my computer. Once they make the list, they NEVER come off it. I would have guilty feelings if I felt that I knowingly encouraged or supported unethical behavior that led to the financial exploitation of others. * Legal disclaimer.

Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I have a feeling this guy has it listed just to brag that he owns it but won't sell it despite all the relistings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
