What the heck did I just miss?

[mmbcastle]

I bid $16 on this thing because I wanted the case, and I figured I could sell the red tip to make it work out to the price I wanted.

It sold for HOW MUCH?!?!?!?!?!?

Those are some dumb bidders. I wish it had been my auction.

Of course that private bidder that took it from $22 to $190 is a little weird.

You missed a red dot case. I was the underbidder.

notice that it is taller than a regular fatboy case, and the little tabs that hold the razor in place are wider.

[mmbcastle]

The only "rational" explanation I can come up with is they both put in "slam dunk" bids and it backfired.

[mmbcastle]

Ah, I knew there had to be something since it takes two to run it up that high.

Thanks for the info.

A misunderstanding with Mr. Decimal Point?

For the seller, "priceless"(TM).

I was watching that one too. I was thinking about 15 bucks. Average condition red tip, a little better than average fatboy case. I actually talked myself out of bidding 15 dollars because there was nothing special there. That is just crazy.

I really miss the way you used to be able to see who was bidding on what to tell if there were straw bidders in the mix.

i REALLY wanna see the guys who overpay pay by hundreds..just to see their looks on their faces when they realize what they wont isn't a national treasure...though looks nice.

Lol! No straw bidders here. I was the fellow who bid 190, and I have a pretty good idea who the winner was. It was worth it.

good eyes! I didn´t notice that, but you´re right.

Ahhhhhhhh So. Well you guys are probably the ones who bid that Bottom Dial up to 500+ with 5 days left...

Amish knows what he is doing. That auction was worth every penny. Please make sure you have all your facts before ripping on someone.

I don't recall saying anything negative. My meaning was they know what they want and are willing to pay for it.

[eastomjac]

OK my bad. I totally misread your point. You have my apologies.

[xraygun]

Hey no problem. I only pointed it out so you didn't think I was a tool.
I placed the first bid on that bottom dial just in case it slipped through the cracks and to make it easy to watch how high it goes.

[Masterkova]

I would pay that much too for the only known example of an adjustable Red Tip!

[LiveOak]

Isn't the magnifying circle on the opposite side of a regular FatBoy case? Even so, that's crazy money even if you are in possession of a red dot and want a complete set.

[xraygun]

I think it's the bottom dial that has it on the other side.

[Mark1966]

Oh dear, now I have to look out for case variations? This is getting too hard!!!!

Nice score for whomever got it!
