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.

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.

so I messaged the seller with:

Quote
Dear mic_996,

can you provide proof that it has sold for 500?

- myclaim78

and he said

Quote
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,

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.

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..

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

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

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.

Post by: mickd on Sun, 27 January 2013, 22:44:51
Considering how he changed the auction to remove the BIN price, sadly it means he probably does monitor this community.
Title: Re: CC Candy Corn skull BIN $316 ? =(
Post by: MattBuzzy on Mon, 28 January 2013, 01:24:20
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 -_-

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.

I should have drawn for the MX variety back in the last EK sale. But didnt have any MX boards at the time, now I have 2 and want some MX CCs... lol

Post by: MattBuzzy on Tue, 29 January 2013, 05:07:31
$200 for a single key is crazy lol, but that's my honest opinion. I am quite frugal and see $200 getting me a damn lot more than a 1" square piece of plastic
Title: Re: CC Candy Corn skull BIN $316 ? =(
Post by: longweight on Tue, 29 January 2013, 05:17:15
Someone wanting the cap that much doesn't make them crazy though, it is a lot of money just for a bit of plastic but few luxury items are priced based on the materials.
Title: Re: CC Candy Corn skull BIN $316 ? =(
Post by: MattBuzzy on Tue, 29 January 2013, 05:21:48
Ok I will put it another way, the value that people put on trivial objects is crazy, not as in insane crazy  :confused: as in that is a crazy amount of money  :eek: I would rather buy a whole new keyboard, but like I said, I am quite frugal and that is my opinion, nothing else.

Oh, I didn't really pay that much attention. I just eBay "CC" every now and again for luls.

Pass on $200? bidding with another account imo. no reason to cancel at that price if it was legit. Unless he is still under the delusion that they reach $500 as written in description.
