Seriously? I think it is pretty obvious what you missed Tim--about $170 for not selling yours.

Maybe several bidders had a large proxy bid in an effort to win. Then the bids got high enough for the max bids to kick in?

That or somebody just really wanted it I guess. For that money I would wait the six months and buy 4 more kits on the order. --- In STMFC@..., Tim O'Connor <timboconnor@...> wrote:

One did. He got pushed up by a bidder who came in in the last hour and placed a series of ever-increasing bids before giving up. Who knows what the winner's upper limit was. It does seem questionable, even if he has the resources. In the early days of eBay I won a few HO pieces from a Lionel collector in Thousand Oaks. He told me that when he saw a Lionel item he wanted, regardless of value, he placed a $1000 proxy bid. Claimed that was a cost-effective tactic - you might pay too much for a few items, but once the other bidders learn you won't be outbid, they stop competing with you and you get things for a lot less. But with eBay bidders having their identities concealed these days, it seems a foolish tactic. Tom Madden, who didn't bid on that item. |

huge 1960's B&W photo collection of freight cars around the Chicago area. He would just plant a high proxy bid on about 90% of the images. If it was something I wished I could afford, I'd put in a bid that I learned was less than his max bid (which I never learned) -- I know it was spiteful, but I hate it sometimes when someone is using their abundant funds to grab up everything even though I can't imagine he needed so many of those images (thousands of them). Sometimes I bid on stuff I didn't care about, if no one else besides () was bidding. All of the images were 35mm negatives.

The sad part is that it'll probably go on the shelf next to the Fine Scale Miniatures kits and never get built.
