Ain't eBay fun?

isolator42 - 2008-03-06 07:57

I've been watching this monster 3D, for the obvious reasons & also it's local to me.
Fist it goes on for £155 BIN:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&categor...93&item=260213708866
...bit steep IMHO.
Looks like I'm not wrong - it gets offers (up to £91 - a very good sellers price for this) but doesn't sell.
Sure enough it's relisted at £85 BIN:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230227166754
Again, no joy. I guess the person who made the original £91 offer lost interest. (IMHO again) the price is at the very upper end of reasonable for this one - it is a great 3D.

Then it gets relisted again at... £95?!

The seller has seen this thread...

I am he...

The offer at £91.00 was made in error by a newbie bidder who was trying to best offer on a Sharp GF-700 that had closed a few days before. Luckily before I accepted the best offer I was able to verify that the bidder was making a best offer on the wrong item.

This seller puts up items on bins for 5 days and then reduces the price of the item during the 5 day auction term. That way you get some items selling at a high premium on the few days of the buy now and then on the later days the price is representative of comments made during the auction or what I would let the item go for...

I had NO closed auctions to go for with regards this item so had to base on my gut feeling.

Any questions, Contact me via the auction.

Currently bin of £80 with 4 hrs left to go and collection allowed if you are local to Redhill, Surrey.

Nice community here....

Guess I should be listing my Sharp GF777 now I have reached a wider audience...

Hope my explanation of the yo you prices is good. As Paul said it is very much a gut feeling how much you think a Ghetto blaster is worth when you have little or no reference point..

I remember my first Hitachi 3D fondly.

It was two weeks before I was due to go off to University and my father got sucked into some market place semi-auction where idiots get taken in and part with a £100 of there cash for items they have not seen before. Well he came back with a hairdryer, a dry ice machine and something worse than Matsui with very thin plastic detachable speakers and I did not want it but humoured him.

The play/stop buttons feel off it after two days and it was really crackly.

On the way to University I stopped off at Currys and got myself a Hitachi 3d to replace what he brought me and put his junky radio in the skip outside as I left.

Great website here....
