Howdy Steven,

Now that is some old school sniping! Way to go Steven!

I was just as nervous as everyone else!

I'll hate to see it go but my old beat-up set will keep me company!

No probs, Congrats on the win.

I have been looking for awhile for those as well. Oh well, on to the next set. :twisted:

BTW, thanks for the offer as I was looking for AC3, but I just won a shrinked copy a few nights ago, so that hole is filled.

Howdy All,

133 views and 6 watchers!

C'mon BABY! Sell! No, really, or I'll relist it and screw up everybody's keyword searches.

When I saw this, I reckoned it might go for just over the $4K mark and thought for a long time about whether I could afford it.

and because I have no connection at home at the moment, I had to get up in the middle of the night to cycle over to my office, to sit here at just past 4am in the morning (feeling slightly ridiculous) to bid...

...now I have to sell everything else to pay for it :)

Congrats, you really must have wanted it bad. That's a hell of a price.

Nice! I didn't see that one.

Let me know if you are ever looking for a trade. I have quite a few duplicates and I'm always looking for something interesting!

Happy bidding!

Seriously, that is what I call a labor of love. :lol:

I agree.

Wow, did I fill quite a few holes tonight.

I think I have an Outdoor Geos I can part with.

If you hit a Rowsdower, you get to keep it.

Wow! I didn't bother staying up after leaving my faith in a snipe. But it turned out to be a bit short. :cry:

Anyone else here with a $3k+ snipe that didn't register? Would be interested to know the level of support for such a price.

Great win. Incredible price. Congratulations red_bus.

Damn! I knew I forgot to put a snipe in on something... I've been trying to downgrade my copy for years.

Thanks - I live in a v. small flat in the centre of London, so I can't really keep the kind of large collection that some people here have (would that I could!). It is already bulging out of cupboards and off shelves... so i thought, i would go for fewer better, rather than volume. This is very much the centrepiece.

Oh, and I feel pretty good about bringing something like this across the Atlantic :D :D

Well done, red_bus, and congrats to Paul. I'm sure you both must be VERY happy with the outcome.

Damn, this string of second-place finishes is really starting to kill me, though. :cry:

Well I guess this means red_bus will not be actively bidding in the new RJK auctions soon to be coming up.
