Title: Anyone snag this?
Post by: FiftyQuid on October 14, 2012, 04:31:38 PM
Pretty decent for an eBay sale.  I would have scooped it up for sure had I seen it earlier.  Duo's alone sell for $350 in my area.

That is a pretty decent deal. I missed it as well. The duo alone costs close to that price meaning everything would have been free.

Looks like ebay seller 'bosnacmb' was the lucky person.  He snagged a bunch of good deals including a like new CIB Turbo Duo for $235 shipped.   Sadly this guy seems like a reseller and a gouger.

Yeah he outbids me a lot, they are willing to pay a whole lot more than me, especially for loose hu cards,  So i assume they are reselling.  If you search often enough, your bound to find a few BIN and auctions that went under the radar I think too, seeing as they overpaid on several items too, I'm guessing reselling and a lot of time on ebay is the case.

He is a reseller and big time gouger.  Prepare to see that duo for 400.00 or more

Ebay user names don't show for me either but I saw the buyers feedback score on the $299 Duo lot that you posted and realized that it was the same feedback number and percentage as bosnamcb.  Then did a buyer search under bosnamcb and sure enough he was the buyer. 

Just so happens I was looking at completed Turbo Duo auctions the day before and came across the new/boxed Duo auction for $235 shipped and saw through the feedback left that bosnamcb had won that one.  I remembered him since he sells Turbo stuff and I was a bit shocked that he did the 'buy it now' in less than 2 minutes from the start of the listing.

Does anyone here use any notification services so that if an item pops up, you get a text message? He may either browse the new auctions a lot or he may have an alert system set up for new BINS

I use to, but they are too slow.  Often I find I won't get a notification fast enough, but new items have been listed.  The link I posted in post #1 is a perfect example of this.  This one got by me while I was still relying on notifications.

Sold for $219. So, in this case, he did not gouge at all.
