Who just dropped 1200+ on a J1? Damn

[m40dotcom]

$1252.55 + shipping. Good god. And it looks like there were multiple people bidding on it at the end as it jumped from $405 to $1200+ in the last minutes. Insanity. Never seen a J1 go for anything near that as I thought my similar $220 ebay bought one was a pretty good price. If you are one of those bidders that missed out, I'll sell mine for ONLY $1000

I watched it from the start and knew I would be out quickly but damn It was above my max on it's first day.

 

[m40dotcom]

Yeah, same here as I only saw it when it was already at 400+ and I wasn't looking to even pay that for a 2nd one. Sure is a great looking box. Like something

Feels so much less stressful to watch an auction get outta control when you have NO interest in bidding. Normally I'm sweating it out as I regret how high I went on my max bid but current price is fine, then it sure gets to that max in a hurry in the last minutes.

Definitely a high roller.

Prices are going into the stratosphere again...I guess you better have deep pockets if you want any of the top tier boomboxes.

Actually it was at $600+ and jumped to over $1200 in last seconds of auction :thumbs down:

It hit $405 the first few hours it was listed, It was past my max so fast I didn't even have time to get excited about it.

Maybe someone who bids at the last second and says to himself "I'm just going to pick a random high number.....It'll never go THAT high......"

Yep, I've been watching the big numbers climb over the limit lately....CRAZY!
M90's, C100F's, VZ2000's, Disolites all past the $1,000 range

I was watching that J1 as well....Last I looked it was 5 bills....but I had no idea it would do that....

It's super clean though, you have to admit that! Not sure 12 big ones clean

-----------------------------------------------------------------
in most cases --thats what i believe the high last second snipers are expecting // hoping..

i have been ' self-trapped ' many times -- too many

if a bidder really wants the box -
then the see its ' only ' 500 with 10 seconds to go --
they may bid 1000 ( just to make sure )--
hoping to win it for 600 --
but shocked to win it for 950 :'-( :'-(

the ONLY cool move for last second bids is to bid no more than whatever is a decent deal-
that you can be ok with

amen

Two or more high-bidding snipers is a seller's dream come true.

I think you guys are right... throw in a few people that just WANT IT NOW and don't care and....

.....It is a sellers dream!

That's exactly how I bid and if I don't win it I can move on without any regret, some times I win sometimes I don't but I'm always okay with the outcome.

 

[redbenjoe]

and the only un-cool move is to not even try for it --
then --watch it end at a price that was an ok deal

Hmm. Even when I know I did the right thing by abandoning the auction to the high bidders I always regret that I didn't get the box.

I'll second that "good god" remark...

I've also never understood 2 or 3 bidders having a bidding war in the first few hours... Jumping the $9.99 starting bid up to $400+ like its a race...? You still have 6 days 22 hours left people, c'mon!!

Some buyers do that to feel auction out and some may just put top bid in right away and hope no one else will bid

Exactly......If it's a well-known grail like an M70, you aren't going to win it for only $50, sorry........So just wait until the last day.

J1's were always gonna get this way
