Nah, the first set was nicer...I would have bid harder if I hadn't missed the end of that auction due to work. I just realized we're in the "Silliest" thread, actually. :oops:

I did make a $10 best offer just to be fair, but when FR11 is the most uncommon thing in the lot....tack on $25 to ship....please :roll:

And their response.....

eBay '8700409710' - Invalid Item

Maybe I should up it to $15? :wink:

Wow, I passed up on one a couple months ago 'cause it went over $10. Is this what its worth or just more madness?

$235 is unreasonable (half that would still be pushing it), but $10 is ridiculous to the point of being asinine.

Well true..... I'll go for ridiculous....asinine might be a little harsh though....more done to make a point of course...especially considering this

I'd say that half was definately pushing it :)

It's that Creep1962 mentality...buy high, sell even higher!

Alright, just to be irritating, I just asked:

Actually got a response and although I was figuring that I would get flamed, I actually didnt. I actually got a nice cordial response:

heres the deal i purchased this item and after shipping and what not it was aroun 145-160 i believe, i could be wrong though. I am getting married to my fiancee the 21st of october and need to raise some money for our honeymoon, if you are interested I would be willin to lower the price and shipping costs to some extent. I need to raise this money fast so write me back and we'll see what we can work out! thanks

Seems like a nice enough guy. I am not going to buy his lot because he even he paid too much for it, but at least he seems nice.

He has a strange way of trying to make money for a wedding .... just before the wedding which he knows is coming up he goes and bids high on items then tries to sell them for even more :roll:

Sorry Brian the excuse doesn't sound right ...

You may very well be right Mike, but my only point was he didnt fire back at me, even though my question was meant to be irritating.

And I guess good ole Creepy is so impressed with how quickly his own Silver Anniversay Box set is not moving out of his store, he decided to contribute to this thread as well :roll:
