The Commodore 65

I'd take a 237 auction buyer $ 11000. 0 feedback bidders don't usually have a good track record.

You pay what, under 10 cents to verify your credit card? All the other bidders with a track record are elbowed aside in favor of the 0 rated buyer who had never bid on an auction and in many cased I've been in with them not only have never bid, but also don't understand Ebay's bidding rules. With nothing in the game, there is little risk to the guy who bid 0 to try to negotiate a deal once all the other bidders have dispersed. At least this one was not a $1100 dollar auction with this sort of bid, and maybe the $11,000 bid is real if this guy tries something. You can watch the feedback to see if he gets any for this auction. otherwise won't know. jim On 10/2/2011 8:22 PM, Toby Thain wrote: > On 02/10/11 10:03 PM, TeoZ wrote: >> >> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason T" <silent700 at gmail.com> >> To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" >> <cctalk at classiccmp.org> >> Sent: Sunday, October 02, 2011 9:49 PM >> Subject: The Commodore 65 >> >> >>> Ok...anyone know who dropped the big 20 kilobux on this one? >>> >>> http://www.ebay.com/itm/120784313119?s >>> >>> Not saying it's not worth it (I've certainly never seen a working >>> one, >>> ever,) but the price is still a shock.
