I laugh but I know this is true. I have seen people outbid people for items that the seller was selling at his ebay store for less. Makes no sense. There must be something about human natures desire to win at any cost. Good luck on that Sesame Street doll! :lol:

I was floored when I saw that end price! Blew me out of the water. I offered to pay my seller 450 because I had been the one to bid on the whip before asking the proper questions and doing my homework, but even though at the time I thought I could probably have talked him down lower if I really wanted to take advantage (I didn't), it seems as though I got a deal, eh?

Wow. You're right, Canada. Must be the Indy IV factor!
I wonder if the guy that sold you your whip saw this auction and what he thought. Bet he was kicking himself...

actually i already got it. i bought it because i had one when i was a child and i saw this on e-bay mint and in the package still for 15 bucks (bin feature)......but i was willing to go to war for it!!!

you know the guy that comes in at the last 10 seconds of the auction and snipes the item from under you???.....i'm the guy that snipes him :lol:

but alas, there's nothing much on evil bay anymore as most of the gear i buy is from our awesome vendors here :D

Thanks Indiana G. 15 bucks sounds cheaper than it was when it was popular. how do you snipe the guy that snipes you? i have found lots of great stuff on ebay.the key is winning it...
