I could have sworn that thing for for BUY at much less than chicken prices earlier. More like Ramen Noodles!
Unless I'm mistaken, and maybe JC can correct me, it changed from a sale to a bid, and it would have been after an email I sent if so. I hope I'm wrong.
I first started messaging back and forth with him about some questions I had...about 2:45AM EST. Then I submitted an offer which he accepted, at 3:09AM EST. He
didn't have a Buy It Now price on anything as of that time. Everything listed had a starting bid price shown and also the Best Offer option was available.
He did have the starting bid price for both the P3 and the Gold Zenkote, set lower at that time. During more back/forth messaging over the next 1/2 hour or so...I suggested he might want to take a look back at completed listings for those 2. He'd see what many had sold for...so he'd get a more fair price for them, especially since he was
also willing to accept Best Offers. It was after he did that, when he raised the starting bid for each of them, as no one had placed bids
nor made offers by then. Actually, the $11 higher starting bid for the GZ is still
extremely fair, IMO, considering it's NIB, comes with the extension cap, has the Best Offer option available, and also is Free S/H. The P3 is IMO, well-within the price range that used ones of those have sold for on eBay, and even here on the Classies. He's also still got the Best Offer option shown, with Free S/H for it, too.
ETA: Since PV closed its doors, I've seen more than just a couple of the GZ and the Dragon 2.5...sell NIB for $200+ on eBay.
