some juicy ebay-auctions

Learning by doing.

well in order to win on ebay, no mystery… place your bid… at quite a high price (well whatever you are willing to pay) less than 20s before the end of the auction and pray there is nobody else interested in it…

Some around here may remember the most “(in)famous” auction in which i took part years ago about the Christmas 1988 Aragorn… in less than 3 minutes, the price rose up to 1600€ (more than £1000) from less than 100€ one hour before… I was outbid by someone in the USA I think (glorfindel) who really wanted it and raised the price even higher… I’m sure none of us wanted the price to reach that high, but the two of us definitly wanted this figurine….

In the end, he won… I lost…(and i’m happy to have lost , thinking about it now!!) this contributed to fix the “price” for this never-seen-before figurine to 1600€… by lack of any other indicator…
Years later, I managed to get my hands on this figurine… not at all for this price, and not by a public sale… but this auction will remain in mithril sales history… no other figurine has ever beaten this price… yet… Though I know of others which can be approximatly estimated 400€ each (the three 54mm white prototypes)

well actually, the money went to Chris Tubb since it was him selling this figurine… he was pained when he saw that though…

I bet it hurt all the way to the bank.

Does anybody have an idea of the potential value of this sell ? Ending in 33min.
I would say 3€ each minimum, making it at least 180€…
This must interrest some fellows here.
Who’s on to it ?

I did not get the 60 mithril but I was better than Mr driz this time ! He bet 2 second before I did.
Still some collector got the last second. That’s fair.

That´t true ! 😎 And some “Grenadier” – influence . . . 😎

I like this ( first ) vignette… it is little bit cruel but it could be part of nice small dark diorama :rolleyes:
