I wish the fool with the Red Lenox would do the same.
So does everyone else trying to "SELL" and "BUY" cards on the BUY/SELL/TRADE thread. What a loser.

Best of luck with your reverse auction sir. Well done.

Awesome idea (and card)!

You just don't know a good card Jim your the loser

"You're" not "your."

Bump in the name of proper grammar.

Friendly bump for actually trying to sell something

Bump for price update.

Just drop it to $600 with a payment plan and I gotcha =)

at what time of day do you make the price reduction announcement..perhaps you already said it but i lazy to look....as i not sure if there was a standard time

Great card, Mark!

I'll put a buy box of $500. If it gets to $500 just sell to me :D

$525 !!! Hey now this is becoming an auction into a reverse auction ;)

Price update.

It's starting to get interesting

I find it interesting that this in theory violates the bump rule and is at the top of the list regularly for about 2 weeks, yet no one seems to have a problem with that.

In the same regard, everyone blew up the Lenox cobb card thread.

Maybe I am wrong, but shouldn't this be in the action section?

For the record, I really don't care. I am just curious slash pointing out the irony of it.

Well the difference on this thread and Lenox, is he has stated a clear price and he keeps lowering it a decent amount every day, i dont think anyone will object if you list a card and lower it by 5% and then a greater and greater percentage every day.....

In defense of the OP, you are incorrect. He has bumped the thread twice and never in less than three days. (within the BST guidelines)

The daily price drops in Post #1 are achieved by editing without bumping the thread. The current daily price could also be edited into the thread title as well.

Could this thread have been placed in the Live (Reverse) Auction section? I suppose, but I don't think it really matters.

Visibility of sales threads can be enhanced by creative techniques that encourage gratuitous bumping by others, which keeps the thread near the top without even trying.:D:D

Selling or not selling a Lenox Cobb in an endless thread without pricing is a whole different story.:eek::eek:

Aha. I did not notice that. I just keep seeing it at the top and thought that his edits were helping that.

What keeps it at the top are the jokes and lowball offers. :cool:

Price update.

Did you think the card would of sold by now? If not when is your guess...we know some people have already made offers down the line as well...

I know I have =)

i dont think he takes payment plans..

I no longer need a payment plan !!

Thanks Mark. Payment coming after my coffee. In case anyone is keeping track for VCP purposes, I gave him 5k and a moon rock.

Matt don't you already have a Cobb?

I gave up the monster. I'm just doing Cobb Reds(as much of a back run as my income allows)and SLer's now.

So have you considered a Cobb Red/ Lenox?

I have, but it is about a MV Agusta F4 out of my price range. :(

I see what you did there Sean ;)

Nice idea. Seems like a fair price for both buyer and seller.

+1 .. Great idea, Mark. Loved the natural interest and attention this got - especially as the auction aged. Hope both buyer and seller are happy with outcome. Would love to see more of these .. may actually borrow the idea myself somewhere down the road.
