Taking a break from the hobby (and that is why I hate .99 cent auctions!)

Ahhhh... that is SO much closer to $666 than I realized.

Exactly!!! It was nowhere near his "monumental" snipe. It was actually closer in line to where it should sell for. If he doesn't bid, the underbidder wins it for $102.50. Not the record high, but it would have sold over $100 as well. The card market is heating up. It trips me out when people quote "VCP averages" like that is written in stone! I am sorry, but for certain key rookies, especially centered key rookies, you can throw VCP out the window. The card market is the hottest thing going now, and new players don't give a damn about VCP average!

Bobby sold the card to another board member.

Situation over.

Do you guys really still have to continue to be aholes?

Understood. But we're using this price for 2 different reasons. Mine was to point out that the $666 snipe bid was a mistake. Yours to indicate that it affected the (possible) sale price of the card.

You also keep insisting that if it wasn't intentional, then why didn't Steve change it before the snipe kicked in. Based on the sale prices and what it WOULD have sold for to the under bidder in your auction, are you STILL claiming that the $666 snipe bid was intentional?

If you still claim it was intentional, then I can't help you with that. But if you can admit it was a mistake on the buyer's part, then all that remains is what you do with the seller since he made a mistake.

I have no idea if that is true or not. His snipe might have only been $130. Anyone can claim anything. I just know what I saw and how it affected me.

Let's give the Marichal a rest guys....like David says....another board member bought the card. Everyone should be happy. The card market is the hottest it has been in years!! Everyone bask in the sun while the clouds are at bay (while we can).

Pete, I have tons of respect for you, and I understand why you'd be annoyed this is in the pre war section. But are you really calling 61 Topps "non vintage"? Just clarifying, because I've always thought the early 60s were vintage

sorry I misspoke...sure I'll call early 60's vintage...seeing as technically 2014 cards are vintage too.

my point being this is the pre war side of the board...where typically pre wwII cards are discussed...as well as sales not being allowed. SO..this "discussion"/sale should not be here. This is my point.

A screenshot should have sufficed, as I don't think you can change the snipe after the auction is closed. I know I can't change it after the auction is closed on what I use.

Done here. And my sincere apologies for forcing anyone to read this thread who didn't want to.

This is the thread that never ends, and it goes on and on my friend.

rescinding this post, just so this thing can die. It was a screen grab of my snipe, but it really doesn't bring any resolution to all of this, so I'm removing it.
