Search evil bay for completed auctions. A Dumpster Mutt sold for $280!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Man, who needs Busse Combat knives when Scrapyards are showing that kinda return and to think that I sold three of the five I bought at cost. Oh the humanity.

I bought some for resale at a reasonable markup and with really nice sheaths.
I have been asking a 30% markup after shipping etc. I may have to put the last on on evilbay.

I don't know if I would feel right about it though.

I was watching that Mutt too. Wow!

Full-Auto

Hmmm... its obviously someone who knows enough about Scrapyard to know that the DM is a bad mo fo - but - someone who either A) doesn't know about the exchange forums at BF - or - B) is too rich to care! I wish I was a "B".

Or C...had a shill bid....?!

LOL Gravelface!

I guess that guy doesn't have any friends aye Diceman!

Doesnt bother me..makes me wish I had bought around 10 of them...

on BF dice?? lol you mean the resellars??

i coiuld talk about them and there rule bending all day long

BUT

leatherface must digress

Unsub

Eric make those sheaths??

whats a "shill bid"? I'm an idiot!

I'm not saying that the DM isn't worth the bucks, if you can afford it, cuz they'll never be back again. BUT, if he cared at all, he could have gotten a better deal!

LF - don't the resellers work at less than a 200% markup?

I don't like them either, but coulda saved some money.

There's a hook on the evil auction site w/ like 5 million hooks still in plastic sitting underneath of the one pictured. I'm glad I got mine! His price wasn't bad, but I'll bet the mailman about tore his arms out of socket carrying the guy's box to the door! Scalpers...

A shill is someone who bids higher to get the price up. Usually a friend or the seller themselves under a different ID. They have no intention on actually buying the item, they just want to drive the price up.

I see - that makes sense. Thanks Ted.

Where the seller, or a seller's buddy bids up the price in order to create a higher selling price. It does that, but also if they have more to sell, it also makes the item appear to be selling at a much higher cost for later sales. Of course, if the shill bid wins they just approach the previous highest bidder and offer to sell it to them.

To me, it is WAY too much work. If your shill bid wins you would have to pay all of the fees, and never really sell your item.

It is what it is I guess.
