Well, ****.

[nubbinator]

Sorry JD, it wasn't me. 

[jdcarpe]

Sorry JD, it wasn't me. 

I know, bro. Thanks, anyway.

[SpAmRaY]

Defiance, Ohio that is a cool name for a town.

Hopefully the other info I gave you pays off.

[nubbinator]

Also, bidders note, PICK UP ONLY.

[madhias]

Someone in the US and A bid for me?

[jdcarpe]

Someone in the US and A bid for me?

And travel to Ohio to pick it up for him, too.

[azhdar]

Also, bidders note, PICK UP ONLY.

"I am willing to ship item at full cost to buyer. Local pick up is also available"
from the description of the item

Local pick up is also available. [...] Obviously if you want only the keyboard shipping cost will be one price and if you want the whole machine it will cost more.

[jdcarpe]

Wow, does no one know how eBay works? Ever heard of snipe bidding? You don't bid before the auction is about to end. That just drives the price up. Geez.

I do that every ****ing time.

Haha, yeah. fohat.digs even wrote a long tutorial about it here.

[Photekq]

I am tempted.

[naasfu]

it's so much fun to bid, though.

wonder if it will come blessed and/or with a bible

[bowji]

The legend...
Good luck bidders, I hope a member here gets it!

[fohat.digs]

A snipe is a bid, just as surely as any other bid.

You just task a machine to do it for you at the last minute.

aren't Industrial SSK too hyped?

[fohat.digs]

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

[jdcarpe]

Great Finds is the joke. This forum is great finds alright. A great find of suckers for the seller!

[CPTBadAss]

Ohio eh? I could be convinced to pickup for the chance to play with an industrial SSK.

[demik]

aren't Industrial SSK too hyped?

Yes. Literally paying for a ****ing colored case.

Too much money, not enough sense is the GH way.

You know, you're right. If people are willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a grey plastic case, someone should be selling those cases! A killing is just waiting to be made.

it's not even so much about willing to pay.

more like need to fit in. GH has deemed the industrial SSK a "need to have" item, so new jacks are all over it. just look at clacks. 700 for a jack CC.

I think there's a lot of truth in this, but there are also collectors that really don't give a crap about that. Like HAL for example. He has multiple industrials, but he doesn't flaunt them. I'm sure he gets them for his own pleasure and nothing else.

oh, im not denying that. but people like HAL aren't purposely paying outrages prices because they HAVE to have it. i mean, who bids on ebay with a week before the auction ends? that's just plain stupid and reeks of "i need this to fit in"

[Photekq]

Well, I'm sure HAL and other collectors have paid a huge sum for an industrial SSK in the past

I can understand people paying a lot. But yeah, what I can't understand is this stupid ****ing bidding a day before the auction ends.

[fohat.digs]

The industrial is a truly beautiful color.

Not so sure about the black badge, it should have been metal.

[jdcarpe]

what I can't understand is this stupid ****ing bidding a day before the auction ends.

Me neither

[slip84]

Left work and it was like $150ish. Get home and it's over $300.

Someone is straight up stupid.

More than one someone, apparently.

[smknjoe]

Even after a good cleaning I wouldn't use that board considering all of the carcinogenic chemicals it's covered in.

I don't even know why I'm going to bother defending you guys but, to be fair, the Clack didn't actually sell for that price and was relisted.

One of the members responsible for the recent retarded massive Clack inflation?

Never mind, then. :O

[jdcarpe]

I wasn't expecting people to unnecessarily bid the price up.

That's what happens every time something is posted here. It's normal.


If you really want someone to get a good deal, you have to wait until there are just a few hours left in an auction with no bids, then post it here so someone can snag it without competition.

[DrHubblePhD]

Soooo, who is planning on sniping. I might snipe it if anyone is interested and just sell it for list price. By list price I mean the price I pay.

[DrHubblePhD]

Don't want to interfere if there are already Geekhackers watching this.

I think someone (was it you naasfu?) put in a ridiculous bid early, so other people could keep bidding it up trying to find his bid amount, all the while making more money for the seller. Smart, right? I mean, the point is for the seller to get the most money possible, not for the buyer to get a bargain... Wait, what?

I'm guessing this is worth around $700-800

Please someone confirm

As snoopy posted at Deskthority, the true value should only be around $400. It's just a different color case, which is admittedly more rare than a normal SSK.

But it was only worth $50 a couple days ago, when it was at the starting bid still. An item is "worth" what one person will pay for it and someone else will sell it for.
