Looks like he ended the auction, I'm curious what they sold for privately, I assume that's what happened.

the $500 ebay price was a nice strategy to inflate value with someone over private messaging. lol

selling it on the somewhat open market
An open market would have had a starting point of 99c.

Agreed, and listing it at $500 would be what?....a "somewhat" open market correct?  Thanks for playing.

Not sure why Hailing called my explanation 'shit' but whatever, it was truthful.  I have talked with Syphic and we'll work something out if they don't sell.  I just want to do it this way for reasons I already mentioned. 

Whether they sell on ebay or not I will be equally happy.  If they sell for a high price great, if not they will be in good hands of someone who appreciates them.  Win/win.  But doing it this way I don't have to wonder "what if", and that would bother me.  That either makes sense to you or it doesn't, I'm done holding your hands.

All it cost was the last of any dignity you might have left. Afterall, you're not new to this.

Go f*ck yourself.

Nothing against this guy in particular.... But isn't it odd how each one of these types that comes here looking to drum up interest for sale of the rarez always opens their self defense with the exact same sentence?

"I am new to this site, but not to collecting."

I laugh every time. I mean... Duh!

Collecting = buying shit.  Everyone in the world has been buying shit since childhood allowance or whatever. Might as well say "hey, I am new to this site but I have been eating and taking shits since birth."
Phew, thanks for showing up Necromancer, for a while I thought only Nightwolve and Bigschmuck were the only ones bringing ignorance into this topic.  And I've had these discs for a decade so just selling something makes me a flipper? Hilarious.  Also you're a mod here?  Equally so.

Nullity, I (and others) do that because one of the first responses on here was calling me a money grubbing newb because somehow my single digit post number means I know less, have less, care less, etc....

My favorite part though is that after nobody is able to tell me what the going price is for these things, everyone suddenly becomes an expert when I have to come up with a reserve.  I did so based on the offers I had received (some from here by the way) before listing them, simple as that.

It is that you went about this in a sleazy manner. The topic of price only came up after you posted your eBay link.

I disagree with that but I understand your point.  I originally came here looking for info as I had asked this question in several places and was directed here.  And I had seen Syphic's video but didn't realize he was a member here or the authority on the matter.  Then I started getting offers and I asked "how much" when someone here said they had just gotten rid of 3.  I listed them at the reserve I was comfortable with based on the offers I had received, got piled on, and then sold them for less off ebay which I would always prefer to do.  I originally tried to trade them for Turbo stuff as I was looking to get back into it but it didn't work out.

I didn't mean to come off as "sleazy", but my posts in this topic have all been sincere.  I appreciate the rational response.

Hahaha!! That did give me a good lol.

Phew, thanks for showing up Necromancer, for a while I thought only Nightwolve and Bigschmuck were the only ones bringing ignorance into this topic.

Ah man, and few of these guys have much of a sense of humor... :/ I hate when my joking goes without much appreciation. :(

He says ignorance was brought but I'm pretty sure that has only come from him so far. So, I'm confused, he wasn't possibly hoping someone might be dumb enough to fork over at least $500 bucks for some CD-ROMs with marker scribbling on them ?

Or

the $500 ebay price was a nice strategy to inflate value with someone over private messaging. lol

Phew, thanks for showing up Necromancer.....

I aim to please.

You asked what the discs are, not what they're worth.  :roll:

Like nully said, it's obvious your goal was to find more bidders and maximize your selling price.  You knew what they were (as much as any of us ever will know anyway) and had already decided what they were worth (a $100 offer is 'comically low'), so what exactly did you hope to accomplish here if not to find a buyer?  Next time skip the bullshit and post in the buy/sell/trade sub-forum, but make sure you lock the thread so nobody can give feedback on how your price sucks.
