If someone is desperately offering you $X to close the item right away, it means the buyer is afraid that it'll sell for > $X if the auction continues to run! Gee, maybe you should let it run! How smart do you have to be to work that out?

And yet sellers are ending auctions early more and more often. Pisses me off :evil: Someone closed an auction I was interested in this morning, after I had contacted him and he assured me he would NOT close the auction early. Thus, I was waiting to bid until closer to the close of the auction. What, my larger amount of money isn't as good as someone's offer who emails you pleading for a chance to circumvent the auction competition? I know politicians with more financial sense than that!

Congrats Sellers, you pulled one over on ebay and avoided paying a few bucks for the closing fee, and all it cost you was several hundred dollars of profit. Brilliant.

:evil: :evil: :evil:

Never ever seen Nightsblood in such a bad mood :) Anyway seller is really total cunt. Anyway,I think that music is less impressive on this vinyl but cover artwork to tell the truth is brilliant.

Sure I'm not.I just quess.But there were a lot of examples when records with impressive cover artwork turned out to be very average sounding crap.I know there's still a few exceptions but ya know...

And I thought mostly new ebay sellers closed auctions early, now it seems sellers with around 20000 feedback points do it too. Shame.

I haven't heard the REAL STEEL single, but if someone has it, and wants to upload it, please do.

I remember someone posting an image of that Real Steel 7" in the "Top Items" thread. I have no time now digging through that thread to see where it is.

It'll've either been John or Blackstele I guess. Speaking of Blackstele, I was on some band myspace page and saw she was in the friend list so checked out her page... and she still comes across as pretty damn crazy, plus that's the largest myspace page I've EVER seen, what, tried to fit every possible metal band on that page :roll:

He should have also included 'rare' and 'US' in the title, he'd get even more! :lol:

I still cant understand this big buzz about REAL STEEL.There were lots of auctions,for example maybe 3 months ago Queensryche sounding band ALLIANCE private 7" sold for more than 700 USD but no one speaks about that.Also why nobody speaks so much about this record :

Isn't artwork less impresive than REAL STEEL ?

I never saw that auction, so I can't comment on it. If you feel that a certain item gets left out in the discussion, mentioning it yourself is a good start!

Correction: The Domäin LP was sold for $279 in late 2009. It's listed on Popsike and thus some general knowledge of its rarity and price can be derived from therein. The Real Steel 7'' is virtually unmentioned on the internet, hence the "hype" I guess.

No comments on nearly $800 Paragon?

Rapid Force LP was sold for more than $300 few weeks ago (maybe the most for any Yugo metal record?? Or not?), let's watch this one:

:)
I watched Paragon for 7 days, knew it would creep towards $1,000. Uh, that's all I can say :)
Several high-dollar vinyls haven't been mentioned around here; guess we're all getting lazy or just not paying attention :)
