[Venezuela Seller uses Shill Bidder(s)]

I have bought lots of stuff from eightiesvault and he is a great guy. Be careful throwing around accusations like this and harming someone's good reputation.

 

I just left feedback for the 20 buy it now items I've purchased from him in October. Perfect as always.

[Commodore fans , big commodore 64 lot for sale]

I want the power supply. How much?

[Venezuela Seller uses Shill Bidder(s)]

As an aside, these Venezuelan seller have truckloads of copies of each title. You would be better off contacting the seller and asking for a packaged deal rather than bidding on individual items...

 

I know, that's why I've stepped out. But you have to consider that most Taiwan Cooper games are not in such a good condition. The set he sold here was pretty much flawless. I rather pay $20 for a box in flawless condition than $10 or $15 for one with dents.

[Venezuela Seller uses Shill Bidder(s)]

And you managed to bid up all other Taiwan auctions exactly to the current bidders highest bid.

 

How do you know that? My max bid was $29 and the current bid was then $30. The max could have been anything.

I wanted all 6 games and the total would have been $200+. That's when I've decided to step out and also not to buy a single game.

[Venezuela Seller uses Shill Bidder(s)]

And you Mr Andre should not care since you are a 'buyer' not the seller.

 

I do care, because 'eightiesvault' has been accused of shill bidding when there haven't been any. Here are just a few auctions I won recently from him.

....

 

It's almost like you wanted everybody else to pay the top price just because you could not afford them right now.....

 

No, I wanted the complete set. And because the price for the complete set got to high I decided not to buy single game. As you can see from the bidding list I actually matched your bid of $21. So I knew your max bid was $21. I didn't make a mistake by bidding $22. After my bid I looked at the listings and decided to step out.

 

I think the sale price is fair for the game in such a good condition. If you don't want it, I take the second change.

[Venezuela Seller uses Shill Bidder(s)]

Hi,

 

I'm the "shill bidder" here.

 

a) I've bought about 60 games in the last 4 week from 'eightiesvault'. Just won more games yesterday.

 

b) I wanted the complete set of Taiwan Cooper Colevision games and was the highest bidder

 

c) After I got outbid I placed higher bids on the items. I couldn't see that I would be highest bidder with my next bid.

 

d) I decided not to go higher with my bids and not to buy the set, therefore I retracted my bid on one of the Colecovision games.

 

e) If you are not prepared to pay the price, don't bid. Period.

 

I've won and paid games for $650 from him in the last 4 weeks. So eBay can look as much as they want into this.

[LOCAL STORE CLEARING ATARI INVENTORY PART 2]

Thats a cat in the hat if I never seen one...What good are sealed games....? LOL..you might as well send them in and get them graded!

 

I only collect sealed games, guess everyone is different. And while I do spend a lot of money on games one of my rules is not to pay too much for them. I never go into a bidding war with someone else or pay above market prices. Why should I buy an overpriced $20 games if I can also add two $10 games which are priced fair to my collection? I would never pay Gary $20 per game, because that money would be burned. I would never ever be able to sell them at that price. You can pay $20 if you just want one game, but as a collector that's a no go. I don't spent $2,000 on games worth $500.

 

The interest in ST games is very very low.

[LOCAL STORE CLEARING ATARI INVENTORY PART 2]

Well...please do visit my for sale thread..its right there under your mouse in my signature..feel free to send me some lowball offers, I will be sure to accept and watch you and many others resell my spit on Feebay and wherever else...I dont mind taking one for the team if she's got brunette hair.....but give this guy a break.....Its been in storage...!

 

I never lowballed him. It is just a matter of fact that ST games don't sell for $20 each. I'm buying ST games since several years and have between 600 and 700 sealed games so far. He can list them all on eBay and most of them wouldn't even sell for $5.

[LOCAL STORE CLEARING ATARI INVENTORY PART 2]

IMHO posting Atari goods for sale on the Atari forum was an awesome idea.........hope you made some good sales and people were able to add to their collections!

 

I welcome everyone to sell their Atari goods here. But the way Gary tries to sell his goods won't work out. He doesn't provide pictures of the individual games, no lists, doesn't accept PayPal, asks too much and was also not very nice in the past.

[LOCAL STORE CLEARING ATARI INVENTORY PART 2]

I doubt that

 

He sold 500 items in 2 months, so I just estimated that he has sold 1000 items by now. How can you doubt that?

[LOCAL STORE CLEARING ATARI INVENTORY PART 2]

In the bigger scheme of things......what's the status of these items?

 

Everything has been sold.

[Magnavox Odyssey - Signed by Ralph Baer (Inventor of Video Games)]

You can think that if you may but Robot King Nes is 70 years old. I doubt he will out live Ralph. you can say what ever you want but its kind of sad to call a seller "bad" because they buy and make a profit. Isnt that the point of capitalism. Free markets set the price for items. If people never paid the prices he couldnt charge them.

 

Buying up all Odysseys to monopolize the market and milking the collectors community is bad behavior. No one needs a seller like him.

[Magnavox Odyssey - Signed by Ralph Baer (Inventor of Video Games)]

I also know for a fact that he has a few in his possession that he promised he wouldnt sell until Ralph passes on.

 

Judging by his buying and reselling behavior I'd say he just hopes to get more after he has passed away.

For me RobotKingNES is on the same bad seller list as beep4me.

[Have I been robbed or is this just fraud?]

What I do not understand, if the other seller wanted to scam someone, why would he offer such an inexpensive lot? Also why would he only list 1 item? If I wanted to scam people, I'd list 10 expensive items and run away with the money. But $80?

[Anybody interested in one of these...]

I don't think the "NTSC prototype reproduction" text is necessary here. It distracts a little bit. This is not an reproduction of an expensive game where people could be tempted to sell it as an original. The box and label should look like what it would have been if the game had been released. Obviously there wouldn't have been a tag "NTSC prototype reproduction" on the label.

[Please delete me!]

Unbelievable, he got a bid!!!

[Idea for an browser add-on for eBay]

Hello everybody,

 

I'd like to share my idea for an browser add-on for eBay. Often we see bogus listings on eBay, reproductions sold as prototypes etc. My idea is an add-on that allows AA members to add a note (warning) to such auctions. Other members will then see this note.

 

Functions would be:

 

a) Flag a seller

b) Flag an item

c) Recommend an item. Similiar to the sticky here where you can post interesting items. Others can then vote (thumbs up/down) to avoid abuse of the function.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Andre

[spikes peak cib up on ebay]

Have you only joined AA to promote your sale? The box is not in a good condition anyway.

[Atari 2600 Boulder Dash (R) Announced!]

I would like to have a copy as well. Please put me on the pre-order list.

 

Thanks Andre

[Candy Catcher Pre-order! Limited Text Label Version and CIB Version!]

Because of numerous request, you can buy a loose copy of the game with either the Text Label OR Brian O. label.

 

As discussed earlier, only the limited release should have the text label. I understand that others also want the text label, but a limited release should be kept a limited release. You could make a variation of the text label.

[Mold in the mail]

Why don't you just cancel the credit card payment?

[HALLOWEEN PROTO 1 & 2 SPECIAL EDITION RELEASE - NEW VIDEO ADDED]

Thanks everyone - Just a few Proto 1's available.

 

If still available, I'd like to have one.

[A nice example of shill bidding]

???????? I see two brand new accounts using multiple bids while bidding up an item to a price point much higher than normal. Schill bidding is my first impression. Is there something I'm missing?

 

The bidder with (0) feedback has bid on games from 30 different sellers. The bidder with (1) feedback has also bid on items from multiple sellers. So this is probably not a case of shill bidding, but of two noobs bidding to much on something.
