Sealed Bonk III huey for $800 BIN, sold in 13 minutes. How long before this is relisted for $2K?


Depends on how long it takes to return from being professionally graded.

Anybody catch this today...?

I was tempted, but I have another auction I'm watching right now.


That may not be gouging, but it's not a good deal either.

Agreed.  Even with new gears it's nothing special, especially without the original AC for the collector types.

Wait, it just says that the listing was removed. Why should that be interpreted with certainty that it was sold and for that absurd amount ?

Because it says 'sold for' next to the price - if nobody had bid on it, it'd say 'starting price'.

Oooh, I see! Completely missed it. I thought it was possible that he removed it for some other reason, private offer or whatever. I might've been holding out for hope too, finding it impossible to believe it went for $800! And in 13 minutes? It'd be funny if it was megahit79 - he's got the cash on hand to pay that and he's done it before (e.g. the $30k SNK cart that he paid $1k for).

Not only is this guy nuts expecting anyone to bid $200 on a BS with no instructions or map, but I reported him for trying to skirt eBay shipping rules and charge almost quadruple what he's allowed to for shipping.

what were the shipping charges before? theyre currently $4 for expedited, which I assume it was lowered to after you brought the gouging to ebay's attention
