The real question is why? He will have alot of 1 of 1 cards in his career.

'10 Bowman Baseball/Chrome/Draft will be his best "RCs"; his "best" 1/1s.


Of course, his '10 Bowman Chrome, Green Superfractor Au. 1/1 will garner more (in theory) than the Base Red 1/1.



A player X, will go through countless bats through-out his career. However, the bat he used to hit HR number 19, will be insignificant compared to the bat he used to hit number 500. Likewise, with Bowman rookie cards.

The card is up to 100,000 dollars. I think I'd rather have a few hall of famers jerseys/bats etc.

[Instanton]

The seller with the Red Base auto, is not pre-approving bidders. Chances are it won't actually sell, because of this. I.e., people are just bidding for the giggles.

If you all remember, the card was initially up with a 50K BIN/BO. Why didn't one of the bidders hit that BIN, to save him-/her-self 51K?


Shenanigans.

[kudu]

LOL, almost 1 million now:confused: Will it surpass the T206??

OK this has turned into a complete joke. The card is now up to $999,500.

I guess this one has to be canceled. It was fun to watch, but it looks like the party's over.

I thought this was funny

On Jun-23-10 at 15:38:45 PDT, seller added the following information:

Please do not bid on this auction if you are not serious about paying. I will cancel any bidder who bids with less than 10 feedback. Thank you for your cooperation. :rolleyes:

[allstarsplus]

This auction has become a joke but for those that still believe all bids are real, this card is getting plenty of publicity on the news.

Isn't all publicity good? :rolleyes:

The bid history has a lot of retracted bids. My guess is the winning bidder won't pay and will only get a non-paying strike.

Since eBay buyers can't get negatives, the seller should bring a lawsuit against the winning bidder for damages (which rarely happens).

So...anyone know what the ebay final value fee is for a $999,900.00 item? :rolleyes:

[Astros7]

So...anyone know what the ebay final value fee is for a $999,900.00 item? :rolleyes:

If I did my math right...

12% of the first $50, $6
6% of the next $950, $57
2% of the final $999,000, $19,980

Total Final Value Fee on $1mil - $20,043.00

ouch!

[rj_lucas]

This is not a defense of spoof bidding, but when you list a $200 item with a Buy It Now price of $50K, you invite this kind of abuse.

And of course once the item gets any kind of media attention, you're sunk.

At least the listing fee would have been cheap :p

So... let's say hypothetically the item sells, but the high bidder does not pay. The seller's credit card gets hit for $20K, and he needs to go through the "non-paying bidder" process to recoop his fees.

Another thought is how many people have linked a credit card to ebay that has a limit of $20K or higher?

$50 is the final value fee. They implemented a new policy in like April or May where the FVF is capped at $50 I think.

Somebody can double-check, but I'm pretty sure that's the case.

skinsfan is right I just double-checked... They capped auctions at $50. The fee I posted earlier would be for a fixed price listing.

Here's an example of a final value fee calculation for an auction-style listing:

You sell an item for $100.00.

Your final value fee is 9% of the final sale price, which is $9.00.

The maximum final value fee for auction-style listings is $50. For example, if you sell an item for $1,000, you’ll pay only $50, even though 9% of $1,000 is $90.

After crossing $500K, the auction has been restarted with an opening bid of .99 cents. From half a mil to less than a buck -- reminds me of the stock market :)

Being an avid Ebay junkie... I think this guy had the card listed for a 50k buy it now and it didn't sell. Then, the card relisted, went to 500k. Then it disappeared. I have a feeling that either he doesn't really have this card, or more likely, he has friends that are bidding the card up trying to get that one sucker to outbid them at some ridiculous price.

On a side note, maybe the 2-2 start for Strasburg made the high bidder rethink the bid and back out :)

[joelsabi]

the sale is now going thru Huggins and Scott Auctions.

http://blogbeckett.wordpress.com/2010/06/30/signed-stephen-strasburg-11-baseball-card-heads-to-auction-house/

one of the benefits of going thru a large auction house is knowing that all who bid are serious. i guess the seller had enough with the fake biddings.
