oh mother !

 

but it is strange - i did think i saw it at a high price the other day and then come back down, but can't be sure if it was the same one

 

it's a very clean model, but is it a bit high ?

the guy thats selling it is room36,he also has other accounts,his prices are sky high..he always sells old peddle bikes n stuff..i just look at most of his auctions and laugh at his prices..example he wants £425 for a GF767,thats the most expensive 767 i've ever seen..

seems strange to me - will be one to watch as to what it goes for

I see nothing strange. As far as I can tell from the bidding history, somebody (z**i) has put in a massive bid a few days ago and somebody else (w**o) has put in multiple bids to try and knock him off the winning position. If there were retracted bids I'd understand, but there don't seem to be.

 

Nothing to see there.

I know it's how it's done, but is this unit worth that much ?

 

it just seems strange why the bidder doesn't wait till near the end - it like going back to when ebay first started !

Well, the user z**i only has 33 points so for them maybe it is part of their learning curve. However I agree with you, I much prefer to snipe and get a good price at the last minute. Although sometimes you don't know if some *bleep* is going to undercut the whole of the world by persuading the seller to sell them it privately before the auction even ends.

and i think that's what makes it strange - what you said is how we bid nowadays unless a big Grail - this is not a grail, but is a clean sweet mini that is cool (i have the same and love it )
