Really? $11000?

[Daniel Stone]

hey all,

I was just watching this for kicks, but since I have a Red Dot Artar 47" I'm trying to get into some hands, maybe my price is a tad low ?

listed by one of our "favorite" sellers, Dagor77

but really, $11,327.00?

jeez man... what makes an APO Ronar CL all that much different than a Red Dot Artar of comparable focal length?

And it started at 77¢!! That's a strange looking sequence of bid amounts. Kind of makes you wonder what the last two bidders were thinking...

[Louis Pacilla]

Wow!

[Alan Gales]

Good for Andrew! I just hope he gets paid.

[Steven Tribe]

I think the bidding is very typical. Two new bidders in the last minute (and last second in one case) with large random high amounts to ensure that they got it. When two or more play at this game, the winner can get to pay, in a few percentage of cases, a great deal more than he expected.

I've seen a few comments online, some even here, that people will put down some exorbitant amount, just to insure that they get it.
"I don't care. I want it." Crazy...

great deal for andrew. makes me wish i had one to sell!

who knows? maybe it was one of the guys from this thread that talked about throwing down a stupid number to ensure they won.....and with out a sniping service.....so who got it?

[cdholden]

Yeah. I bet he's doing cartwheels. It's a great day at Casa Del Dagor when payment clears.

[Daniel Stone]

Despite a PM to me from someone here thinking I'm "whining" by posting this thread, I'm not. I'm just surprised by the sudden "jump" in pricing on the bidding. $1300-11k, in one bid. Jeesh.

Happy days at the Dagor camp!

great job Andrew, another winner !

I would like to know exactly what is the definition of "unopened"? Same as new, in the box?
