[ EBAY ] CLICK CLACK OKTOERBERFEST cherry mx + more
« on: Sun, 06 December 2015, 23:56:27 »
Hi guys will be selling a few of my clacks. Most of them are unused and kept in baggie since I purchased them. I will list after each auction closes.

Here's an Oktoberfest set that I expect to be even more ridiculous. Haven't ever seen this before. Probably one of the $100+ clackvent grabs.

never understood why people place their bids days before the end time. I guess they're also the people that a dumb enough to drop this kind of money on this kind of item.

Probably shill bids.  Seems to happen pretty regularly.  Cap goes up. Price is obscene. Shows up again a month later from the same seller.

Honestly it's just as bad. By shilling bids they can incrementally and artificially increase the value of stuff like this due all the people commenting about how ridiculous the current bid is. If you tell a lie long enough at some point it is no longer a lie. Somebody will end up seeing another listing a month later and think they got a good deal by spending $200 on something that would otherwise have gone for $100.

This exactly. It's pretty apparent on some other caps too if you see the bid history.

Yeah I would not expect this to be paid for.

Relisted and sell for $200 or so, I suspect.

I like mine for what it is, and what it represents.  No plans to sell.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

The highest bidder actually has over 100 feedback score (not that 100 is a large amount, but it gives me hope considering they don't have 0). We'll see whether or not they were shills.

That happens when someone is trying to incrementally outbid them and they have a max bid set.

Currently the buyer has stopped replying all messages since i passed tracking number.
I notice that he is bidding on another auction for the same cap and more.

http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=161913159184&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2565

contacted seller to notify him, he replied once then stopped replying altogether...

for sure i ve been scammed, probably why the price went so high in the first place?

Dispute it right away if you think you're being scammed... Best of luck to you.

Why do you think you are being scammed? I have bought a fair bit from ebay and sold at least 20 litems (yeah not that much). I have barely had any contact with buyers/sellers once money is paid and item is shipped thats it and even this does not require anything more than auto notifications. Maby the buyer just has no interest in talking to you?

What specifically has you worried?

People pay pretty high prices for these anyway all it takes is someone who is new and has a lot of disposable income to push the price through the roof.

Dont most scams on ebay involve taking photos of an identical item that has been damaged and getting a forced refund (usually common electronics). Or send fake paypal notifications to get a seller to ship before payment has been sent. Say the person was  a scammer, what would their next move be? Is the seller covered? I mean i doubt the person has a spare broken clack to take photos of to ask for repayment.

Is the address for the buyers ebay account the same as paypal and can you look the name up on any electronic database like a phone directory to confirm residence?

Has the seller looked up the name on facebook etc to see if any details like location match. Little thiings like this might provide peace of mind.

Did you send out the package so it requires a signiture for delivery? If so it starts to get difficult to claim the package was lost
