crazy new owners or shill?

[michael-king]

I have been astounded at some eBay auctions of late. I can't work out if there are some very cashed up fresh tiger owners who don't know the market, or some nasty shill budding habits....

So much for a buggered mki owners manual???

I know the seller - no shill here!

I've got a BON on right now so I hope the crazies ratchet it up.

Shill Budding

I believe shill budding is illegal, at least here in Arizona.

New Buyers Goin Crazy

I've got a BON on right now so I hope the crazies ratchet it up.

Guy who bought the last BON for $2799 is high bidder on yours right now. Tryin to corner market on everything Tiger. Totally blew up prices on some items that I stopped bidding on when they far exceeded the value.

As far as the Owners Manual - I know the owner and he does not use shills. I bid on this item till I no felt it was not worth it to me. I cannot answer for how or why the BON got so high.

prices

I'm assuming the fact that the BON that went for 2799.00 was signed might have something to do with the price. I've seen 3 in the last 2 years go for over 3K, all signed by Norman Miller. As for what they are worth, they're worth what someone will pay for it....unless something has changed?

I tried to sell this one here for 1350.00 shipped a couple years back after seeing several go for north of 2K and all I got was a few sarcastic remarks. I listed this one at a 900.00 reserve which didn't last the first day. I have had 2 offers from members here that are local to me willing to pay more than the current bid if I take the auction down. So, what is it worth? Right now....1,247.00 that's what someone is willing to pay for it, discounting those that want me to close the auction(which I won't), no more and no less.

If the crazies come out who knows? Right now after Ebay and paypal take their chunk probably not much more than 900.00.

value of BON

Well I guess right now a BON in excellent shape(no damage, folds, water damage or soiled, etc), non signed, frayed dust cover is worth $1,732.00.

So I guess that the crazies are still out there

shill

the buyers are not crazy. they find an item they want to buy and if they have the money to spend they buy it and figure no one should be asking why. especially if the wife doesn't care. at least that's how it works around our house.
