Dude, that totally sucks!
Dude, that totally sucks!
Well - i am glad it went to someone good!
But damn me! I am such a dumb ass!!!!
Just so I have some mental comfort (if that even exists) but was your snipe below $620?
Ouch!!!
John
Yeah, it's like when you have shows saved on Tivo and you watch one, then go to delete it, but delete the next episode by mistake...haha...maybe not quite the same thing.
Anyway, that's the fun of ebay - winning when somebody else messes up...good job Pasiuk! haha...
I can't wait til tomorrow night to show you all my new Joe Hill "purchase"!
It's going to be awsome!!
You will just have to wait!! LA LA LA

Sorry you missed them both, Kenny.
Congrats, Mike.
Karen, you are such a tease!

Dolan,
Not bragging or rubbing it in, OK?? I have been in your spot before and was furious at myself for similar reasons. The final number can be misleading.
I won the Voluntary Committal, but rest assured you did NOT miss by $5.00, my max bid was considerably higher as this was the one Hill Lettered I did not have. Call me foolish but I think this one is worth alot more (I just hardly ever see one at auction) - especially since it's an early one and there's only 26.
...and you would all call me foolish if ya knew what my max bid was
I'll keep an eye out for another one for ya, ---kyle.
Hey...I wouldn't cry a tear for Kenny...and if he's crying, whatta shame, he might have to wipe it off with his Obama-signed Dreams of My Father...Haha...we've all been on both sides of ebay battles so he'll be fine...
I cannot understand people using "snipe". Just put in your highest bid and that's the end of it. No-one who was using a snipe has ever beaten me on a bid.
Kenny
to tell the truth, your bid would have won. I was over $455 but under $620.
Not sure if it helps but....
A snipe has a lot less to do with winning the auction than trying to get it for the lowest price.
If you snipe something at the last second, nobody has time to big against you - meaning, win or lose, the final price will go up. Obviously, the snipe is your best possible bid.
If you put in a high bid long before the auction ends, it's true that you don't have to worry about it anymore, but all the last minute bidders will drive up the price on you.
Hey Dolan,sorry to hear that you didn't get the Thumbprint. I had thought we were in a recession. The three s/l went for alot more than I had expected. Congrats to everybody that got what they wanted.
Very much agree with you on that one, but $320 was the max i would have paid for VC. But the lettered VC is much rarer.Originally Posted by kacod

I really did want the Thumbprint - but ahhh, you WIN some, and you LOSE some... right? No tears - but i was pretty pissed at myself.
And Rahfa's theory on sniping bids are exactly why I use snipe.
...and you always win.
If I understand correctly, the snipe basically bids at the last second, leaving no time for even the automatic eBay bids to get in before the auction ends.
I guess its not so much winning, but winning at a lower price.
EDIT: I've never bothered with them myself, if I want something, I want it, and am not too concerned about price.
Muah ha ha ha ha
You still have to wait...la la la la

Karen - BEAUTIFUL! Wow - whoever did that got a big fat kiss I hope! Amazing..!
So I like to think I am highly familiar with the Joe King collectibles world but I know nothing about this "The Saved" chapbook.
I have seen that there is a signed paperback at 200 copies and an unsigned hardcover at 500 copies.
Is this correct?
I have one of the hardcovers...
And Kenny thanks!
I didn't kiss her..but I will go back to her for other tats!
Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
That sounds about right...
There seem to be a fair few pc copies floating around also. I have a couple of the unsigned ones.... But no signed ones .... Yet.
So the 500 hardcover are unsigned right?
Interesting that the paperback would get signed and not the hardcover.
