Some auctions that I just put up

Well, due to circumstances, I am putting up a good chunk of my collection; mostly 7800 titles right now and maybe more will follow. I wanted to give the community "first crack" at these before the general public. Thanks for looking.

 

My eBay Auctions

I just bid on a pile of them. I just put up a post a couple days ago looking for most of them - nice timing!! If you want to sell them directly to me, let me know how much you want.

 

Thanks,

Hank

I don't get it. What does 'first crack' mean since the games are already on ebay?

He may have posted the link to his auctions before they actually were uploaded to Ebay's database, but that is an educated guess.

Hmmm, could be. Usually I would think 'first crack' means that he would give us a chance to purchase them before they go to eBay. You think he meant 'first crack' to see them on eBay? There wasn't even a BIN so why would that be an advantage?

Yep, this is the reason.
