Wow, that sucks, Brent. I'm not surprised though.

@mjwatts: Was there a Buy it Now on the auction from the beginning or did you send the seller one of those "I'll give you $$$ right now if you end the auction"?

Yeah. There was no buy it now at the beginning, I was the first bidder. If there was a buy it now for $940, then I would have bought it . I was suprised the seller fell for the "end it now" message, I didn't even think of trying that. 99% of the time it will go for more if you let the auction play out, and I just figured most sellers knew that.
The only one who really lost out here was the seller, they would have gotten a couple hundred more had they let the auction go. No hard feelings though.
I was second highest bidder on that other Gray MM NFR that sold last night, so obviously I was willing to pay just shy of the $1204 or whatever it went for. Hopefully that high price will bring some more out of hiding. The seller's response to the end the auction now message should have been "Sorry but there's already a bid on it". It's HoS worthy in my opinion even if he cost himself a couple of hundred in the process.

My max bid was considerably higher than what I ended up paying and I'm glad to have something left over, haha.

Yeah that was me, sorry. I didn't realize making BIN offers on new auctions with one bid was considered backdooring, but apparently it is and I'm headed to the Hall of Shame. I feel like that's a pretty common practice, I'm just the idiot who publicly admitted to it. Oh well, I had a good run here.

Says who?   Getting a BIN added to an ebay auction (even if it has a bid) isn't backdooring.

Now if it sold for less than $940 and you offered that after it sold, that's backdooring that'll earn you a HOS badge here.
 
Ok that's good to know. I didn't think it was backdooring, glad I'm in the clear.





Yay! Everyone wins! Except the guys who didn't BIN. ]]> A rare find brings me here.. http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=9&threadid=118330 2014-01-11T15:53:53 -05.00 gencjtry 52 Originally posted by: captmorgandrinker

That's not backdooring. You won't be put in hall of shame. Hope you got a good deal.

 
i agree, i was kind of wondering why you were so concerned.
