No, this was from a few weeks back. They haven't shipped mine either, although that's probably because I def. didn't pay them right at the beginning I think @inasuma got his already.

Most are gonna be like 6.0. There's a 9.0 with the shrinkwrap on ebay right now, but it's from a seller in California. A 7.5 just got listed too, but it has a typical 6.0 box.

tidaldreams | 654 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) I think HA just added a reserve to this... it definitely didn't have one before and the bids were much lower. This is BS. EDIT: yeah, it definitely didn't have one before. Edited November 16, 2021 by tidaldreams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is BS. EDIT: yeah, it definitely didn't have one before. It says very clearly underneath the bid in your second screenshot "Reserve (if Any) Wil post on 11/15/2021 at 7pm." And so that's exactly what happened; the reserve was posted. HA is actually one of the few auction houses in the world to actually disclose the reserve price on a lot, so I think you anger here ("This is BS") is misplaced. Reserves on eBay (or Christie's or Sotheby's), for example, are totally hidden; with HA at least you get full transparency.

What's the point of even bidding before the reserve posts? On the auction side, it's so that the bids reach the reserve price organically, before the reserve posts. On the bidder side, you're incentivized to bid early because book bids take priority over bids placed after yours is placed or during the live session (e.g. if you have a book bid of $10k on a lot, and it opens in the live session at $9500, if someone else clicks the "Bid $10k" button, your bid on the book would take precedence. In the auction world, for the person who bid live in that scenario, that's called "being wrong-footed").

I normally just attend the live session for items that I'm interested in. I need to see how the live bids are looking to determine if i should still bid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefaultGen | 5,436 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It's funny, when the first Bioshock Infinite sold for some ridiculous price ($1k?) a couple dozen $10 shipped copies sold on Ebay. But no one is buying out these "just in case" because everyone knows they're worthless, lol. No one even bought out the non-budget versions sitting unsold for less than half the price.

I think it's because these are garbage platinum hits version. Bioshock at least has something interesting with it (10/10 sticker) which seems a bit rarer than the normal variant.
