Atari_Bill Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Wow. Unfortunately, for certain titles there are collectors out there that have no limit on spending. Literally whatever it takes they’ll pay to get it without hesitation. For these types of games you have to hope they already have a copy or there’s a reasonable BIN that you’re lucky enough to stumble on first. Most of us will end up doing without.

I am capable of paying this amount, but I set a limit of what I think is the value. I thought the auction was worth around $1100.00 I had $1150.00 waiting to snipe. I see these, make offers on the Auctions, come into play now. Different world in collecting now a days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadrunner Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 At least the buyer got a few other rare boxes. Doesn't AA have a unofficial rule to wait a few days to post completed listings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keatah Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 It was just too much time and space consuming. Kept getting outta hand. I do maintain an interest and all of this is cool as long as it's someone else's material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rik1138 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I never knew Columbia had a Software Club... I assume like the CD and movie clubs where get a certain amount for 'a penny' and then have to buy a certain amount at full price over the next year or two? I probably would have tried to convince my parents to join that if I had known about it... As for price, as far as eBay is concerned, it sold for the BIN listed in the auction... It doesn't look to be a 'best offer accepted'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like someone got nervous as the bid approached the buy it now price?

Plus if you’re not looking at the right time you won’t get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Combat Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 It looks like someone made the seller an offer while the auction was running and eBay let’s you add a bin anytime now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So even though it started out as an auction without a bin you can add it anytime during a running auction or does eBay let you send a bin to just the individual that contacts them in the middle for more than what’s currently bid. In this case I think there was a $1,100 bid before an offer was sent or a bin added. I didn’t see the listing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen plenty of these auctions (I think I actually have one in my watch list.) To your specifics, I am pretty certain eBay does not allow adding a BIN after the auction has bids (it restricts a LOT of changes after the first bid. Also, I do not think you can send a BIN offer to someone unless a BIN is already in place. Seems kind of strange, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked it a couple days later and it had been won with a BIN. Just never seen that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
