Re: The Fine Dark Art of Ninjutsu eBidding

People that snipe at the last second is the main reason that guns are not sold on ebay. Ha Ha
 

I can take umbrage, I can take the cake, I can take the A-Train, I can take two and call me in the morning, but I cannot take this sitting down. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to take five.

Re: The Fine Dark Art of Ninjutsu eBidding

Pappy,

I used this sneaky technique against somebody bidding on an extremely hard-to-find 1/32 FOV halftrack the other night. I checked his buying history (see instructions), only to find the guy was on a hell-bent-for-leather FOV AFV buying jag, and frankly, my jaw hit the floor. This individual was dropping money like a drunk spills beer.

So ...

I waited, just like a good Ninja should, until the last four seconds and SCALPED the bugger!!!!

Had the model been relatively easy to find, I would have waited for the next auction. But this particular halftrack was so rare, I simply couldn’t let it pass.

The funny part was, this person thought he had it in the bag. Only two other people had bid, and the hit count was low (for this model, anyway); consequently, I’m all but sure Mr. I’m-gonna-beat-everybody-over-the-head was smug as hell. Whata surprise he got!

AH HA so it was you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and yes I spilt my beer.
 

God Bless America.

Gort! What the are you doing? Criminies! Moderators, please delete this thread and restrict the galactic one from posting further. We members of the order are all aware of the intricate details of Ninja bidders and don't need to spill it and break our oath.. Jeze........who let the Gort out?

Are you serious parsig? It's hard to tell if you're joking or not.
