Spirit Ends - 1900 - This market MUST be down.
« on: November 28, 2010, 08:45:57 PM »
About 12 people I spoke to expected this to go anywhere from $2500 ( way lowest ) to $3500.00 - including myself.

$1900  ^&^ !@# ^&^

my highest bid was $1881,so if i hadnt of bid it would have gone for around $1500,but i figured it could of been one of those auctions that no-matter how much i bid it would have gone for a few dollars more,no point over extending the budget this close to xmas,anyway good luck to whoever won the pin,or maybe the seller still owns it.

I had $1500 on it - knew i wouldnt get it with this price but it does allow me to watch the seconds tick away and the bids go up.
$1900 - wow what a great price.

Prices are definately down.. have been for a while. Buyers market out there alright

Yeah, I did the same thing without expecting to win.

Just contacted the seller to see when I can pick it up.. ..

Nick - Did you win the Spirit  #@#

This price has me totally lost for words. But as I mentioned in another thread - Sunday night before 8:00 PM was not a good idea.

A buyer's market - moreso than last year.

yes, I was as surprised as everyone else, just had a bid for fun, but chuffed at the result.

Nick..... you saying your top bid was.. say $2000?? and with this you won it?

Far out

Could have sworn a bid of $3500+ would have been put on this to secure it...

... man thats low price


Maybe the lack of licenced stencils put people off buying???

LOl--- yeh that'd be it i reckon


way to go Nick.... awesome pick up!

well done nick congrats ^^^ great score at the price,i offered the seller to buy the pin a week before it went to ebay,actually asked nino's advice on what price to offer him.and i was willing to stretch the budget to $3000 2 weeks ago but the seller declined and said he would rather put it to auction due to all the inquiries he had had.guess thats ebay for you.great score mate.
