Kaine Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Little bit of price gouging there (ohh and it was available online during the gencon week, not only at gencon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadboy Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Wow, I'll be surprised if that gets one bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Kinda pricey. But you have the freedom of making your price, so I have no say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemissary Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 It is nigh-impossible to find, so I would not doubt bids getting to $300.00..... Depends on the completionist-fanaticism of the people that may find that on auction. I would not have set the reserve price so darn high though. $100.00 bucks reserve maybe. But that was the decision you made. The only thing that might hold you back is you have a very small Ebay score. People don't bid as much on small scores (Small as in a low number..you can have 100% positive feedback, but small scores still tend to suffer). Good luck and I hope you get the money you desire and the buyer gets the model of his/her dreams/nightmares. I would bet you will have to relist it with a slightly more forgiving opening bid though.

oozeboss Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 It would have been a whole lot wiser to start at an affordable & accessible level, and then rely on generating a competitive bidding war in order to drive it to the somewhat dizzying heights you are hoping for. As it is, if you get one bid you'll be doing well. And that 'if' is a mighty big two letter word in this context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolomyte Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 My LGS has three of them in stock still, but I applaud your attempts at capitalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yeah, I laughed at someone asking $100+ for it. $250 is pretty much a ridiculous asking price. I'm sure the final bid could possibly end somewhere past $100 *IF* the starting bid was around $50-60 to generate some interest, but $250 is kind of a joke. Its not old enough and rare enough to warrant that much of a price gouge from the original price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireTrollJake Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 I put mine at a $100 starting, $150 Buy It Now a month or two ago, sold BIN within 24 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wodschow Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 My LGS has three of them in stock still, but I applaud your attempts at capitalism. Eh? They have the Nightmare edition in stock?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theHman Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Is the price high? To some yes, to others it isn't. It all depends on how much you want the mini and are willing to pay. Despite your sticker shock, there are actually quite a number of people who have added the sale to their "watch" list and I suspect Chompy will sell come the last day of the sale. But I could be wrong. As far as people looking at ones ebay score, I've never paid any attention to that. I pay attention to the sellers feedback score as that is much more indicative of ones honesty on ebay. Not everyone selling on ebay is a store or a regular user. Plus, you have to start somewhere right? Yes I only have a feedback score of 62, but that's because I'm a very casual ebay user. You'll note that my feedback score is 100% positive and I aim to keep it that way. My LGS has three of them in stock still. Your LGS has 3 Nightmare Edition Chompys for sale??? What is the name of your LGS please and do they deliver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadboy Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I sincerely wish you good luck with it. As for the people watching it I'd wager the majority are us just looking to see if it sells. You might have had better luck dropping the dollar ammounts by 100.

Stanislav Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Well being it was Xmas time and all, lots of extra money floating around. And just to tell all of you out there that were naysayers (and it's not my auction), it SOLD at the $250 mark. I thought it could, and lucky for me my wife had stole mine and had sent it off to get painted. Otherwise I would be sorely tempted. The price is only as high as the market will bear. Case in point.
