Oh absoloutely. It's not like it's a rip roaring trade in Pope John the Second's head. After all there was a time when rich folk collected memorabilia/relics like that from religious "celebrities"  |

Anyway the auto ended up at $8,100 a while back, Jeff told me the winner then said her son bid on it when she was at work and was not going to pay (not her fault  ). So he offered it to other bidders. No real takers, and by the time he got down to the third or fourth I think they started wondering what was going on. Anyway then he relisted I think with a BIN of $7,000. He had many emails wanting to work out a deal but couldn't come to an agreement with anyone. So he has relisted again. Anyway the most interesting part is that there are articles that are starting to pop up all over the place. I came across one last night and then opened MSN and found this article link on the FRONT PAGE. And appartently they have actually finally called him to ask questions, because as of last Fri he hadn't heard from anyone. Also the article says it is going to be on Beckett Baseball's next cover.  I would say that is pretty cool, and good publicity. So here is the link to the article on MSN's home page http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3602790 |

Well I hope that all the publicity brings him luck, interest and a slightly higher (and more serious) winning bid  |

The people who think they can bid on things and don't really have to buy them really PMO. I can understand the occasional misunderstanding or misleading listing that buyer have to deal with (I once bought a box of LOTR Trilogy w/ BIN and then realized it was a retail box) but paid the sellers listing fees.
I am sure the womans son wasn't bidding on it when she was at work. I personally think all buyers and sellers should have a small $ amount in an account with ebay to be able to list high ticket items, or bid on items over a certain $ amount (maybe $100 or so). That would definately stop people from screwing things up. Sellers who disappear with peoples money would then lose the money in there account and buyers would either have to pay the listing fees or not be authorized to bid on high $ items if they didn't have an account. Just an idea, if they don't change something they should change the name to EFRAUD.com
I really think there are sellers who have ripped of people for $1,000's of dollars and wait a few months and start selling again only to do the same thing.

EBay and sellers dont catch that. People relisting things. I mean you'd think the ripped off seller would alert them or something  |

Look at the bidders list, I would certainly be a little concerned about the bidding of people with little or no feedback on that kind of item.
I told him to require approval for anyone before they can bid on it.

Yeah, the high bidder right now, munaaminaaazim, with only 2 feedback, can't be nice for the seller to watch him as the high bidder, I hope someone with a high feedback rating will make the high bid, and make the seller a bit more sure that he actually will complete the deal... |

Has anyone been keeping an eye on this.... ....$101,000+ w/ 3 days left. Darn, he told me last week if I offered him $4,500 for it he would take it just to get out of it. I wish I had $4,500 cash to burn That will be a pretty good investment. Although I think that is one of those that you would certainly have to report on your taxes A little to much public attention for the IRS not to pick up on that one. |

What the???....the price has gone down from 101k+ to 72k, must have had some bid retractions or something...well it is still an amazing price. 10 hours to go, will be interesting to see what it finishes at.

I told him to require approval for anyone before they can bid on it.
At least he finally changed it to approved as mentioned before I told him to do that from the start. I am pretty sure that is why the high bid has gone down, at one time the high bid was over $1,000,000. Yes 1 Million. I am pretty sure that is what made him change the listing. I don't understand why people do that crap and bid it up to 1 Mil just goofing around. The auction fees on this are going to be pretty pricey. Overall I would say it was worth it for a $4,000 investment. I would say the person who sold it will be kicking themselves the rest of their life :'( |

It has ended $72,424. Wow not a bad final price now the key is will the person actually cough up the money. That is a lot to spend on a card. I will find out from the owner if this guy really is going to pay up.

The buyer has good feedback, so maybe the sale will go through. At least the high bidder wasn't someone with zero feedback who might have bid on the card as a joke.

ahhhhhhh I wondered what happened with this auction, as I noticed the high bidder from the second auction appeared to deny all knowledge of having bid on it in the first instance! *fingers crossed* it sells this time ... third time's the charm as they say! |

He negotiated the Alaska purchase. here is a couple pics of the card: http://www.freewebs.com/spirit_lupus/cards.htmfrom the signature its hard to tell who it even is. i am not planning on selling it.
