I'm in. I want it on Mondays. Now need to fill in the other 6 buyers and days of the week for sharing.

[inlikeflynn]

why do we post terrible finds in great finds subforum?

I post them here because there isn't any better place to post to try and alert people of these terrible finds.

Perhaps there should be a terrible finds subforum?

It could hold so many wonderfully horrible things!

[ekw808]

There aren't too many AU members, and even less AU members that would value that at 316.....wonder who would value it at that price..?

Posted it earlier, but mods deleted it.

[longweight]

Why would you post it before it ends? It just draws attention to the auction for the seller which in turn will push the price up.

I guess it may be Cactux.

Haha, you're probably right. I do agree though, there should be a "Terrible finds" subforum or atleast a on-going thread for the lulz.

Yeah, something like OT?

[limmy]

Since discussion of prices are not allowed in classified threads(because of threadcrap rules), I think we should have a separate subforum that allows such discussion in geekhack marketplace section. I think it would be a great place to have open discussion about prices of different items. ClickClack caps, Korean custom boards, different key cap sets and etc. Currently users cannot freely express their opinion on prices where such discussion is relevant.

We can discuss about prices in "Price Check- What's it Worth?" thread, but I don't think it works very well in providing information on market prices. If we have a separate subforum, we could build up history of prices of certain goods, so in that regard it will be very helpful to new members who are not familiar with the prices.

[demik]

so I messaged the seller with:

Dear mic_996,

can you provide proof that it has sold for 500?

- myclaim78

and he said

Dear myclaim78,

One sold on OCAU a little while ago for $480.
When i got this they were going for between $350-600.
If you don't believe me just search the net, you'll see how valuable these are.
Best regards,
-Mike

[jcrouse]

Mic, from Au, must be Crocodile Dundee.

[phetto]

Ok boys, dont mess with Dundee.

[MissMurd3r84]

Mic, from Au, must be Crocodile Dundee.

Nah, this guys name is Mike. Crocodile Dundee's name is Mick. 

[jcrouse]

Mic, from Au, must be Crocodile Dundee.

Jolly rite mate, sorry.

But he may still put some shrimp on the barbie.

[okooko]

I have an active OCAU account, I'll have a look at the past items.

Tbh, they sell lots of computer parts and photography gear, I rarely have seen keyboards let alone CC's going on sale, and even if they did...$500 you serz?

BRB checking this BS...

edit: um cant see to find the thread. Ive literally tried all the keyworks you can think of CC, mx topre, clack, skull, keycap cap, rare, $480...

Demik, if you get him to send you a link of the ad he says existed on OCAU, i can find it for you.

[demik]

you australians are weird o.O

@okooko, i messaged him back asking for proof.

[mickd]

My name is Mick, but don't worry guys, that's not me (Dundee or the auction seller)!

I think I sold something to a Mike in the past, but I don't think it's him.

This auction is a terrible find. I'm hoping it's not someone that's actually active on here..

[akuJIWA]

Mine is already gone, so it's not me, though my name isn't close to mic, or mike.

You can do that in Deskthority because there is not censorship of any kind when someones tries to screw up people with stupid prices.

[Saviant]

I am Aussie but I never had one in the first place. The 3 cc's I got from cc sale 5/6 I gave 2 of em away and only kept one for my collection.

Either way I think that price is BS never seen one go for that price

[okooko]

The same things been listed again without a BIN

[okooko]

OMG!
1 stem fits all?

[longweight]

It will be for searches, to catch more.

[jeroplane]

Here is your answer guys (from Price Check thread):

haters gon hate, but my candy corn skull is on ebay if anyones interested.

And yes from his previous posts, it appears as though he is Aussie.

[mickd]

Considering how he changed the auction to remove the BIN price, sadly it means he probably does monitor this community.

[MattBuzzy]

Nah he didn't change it, It got a bid on it so the buy it now price disappeared. I'm surprised it even got a bid actually, wouldn't pay more than $50 for a CC myself and it would have to be one I REALLY wanted even then that's like half a decent keyboard for 1 keycap -_-

[mickd]

Ah, didn't know that's how those auctions worked. Personally I'm not too surprised about it getting a bit, just don't expect it to go much higher.

The guy's description is still full of BS though.
