Valiant Auction Bidder ID's

[k_c_collectibles]

I notice that Aug002 is not on the list. Has he stopped bidding on Valiant stuff?

No - he bought some books from me a few weeks ago.

How do you know members just don't use different names than on Ebay? Several of the bidders could be members under different names.

Or they could have multiple ID's (guess only the 'buyer' id will count then).

If this is the case then hopefully those with duplicate accounts listed will let me know. I don't believe the number of duplicate accounts to be large enough to skew the numbers in favor of the members.

Unless of course someone exists similar to ZWH's joke with 12+ ID's, we should be ok.

This is not a scientific study. Take it with a grain and look at the general picture.

Maybe reincarnated

[soundoftheuniverse]

Yes, I am here. Now can someone please explain to me what does this mean ~ ggsae ~ after gambit_1 ($405.01 SL Dr Mirage VVSS COA)

Cheers

That's just omm'A having fun with you.

It stands for Gambit_1 Gropes Sultry Aging Elephants. You have to know his code.



Seriously though, GGSAE is just an eBay user ID. You are looking at a list of eBay ID's for people that bid on Valiant auctions and are also members of this board.

Gambit, it's just my attempt to point out those of us who are making SERIOUS Valiant purchases. Your purchase of the COA is worthy of mentioning.

I'm going to add a number after the names for the number of auction WINS. that way you'll be able to tell who's won and who just bids.

I'll give Winners a color, any ideas?

Green or yellow. Losers bidders should be red, puke brown or pansy pink.

[soundoftheuniverse]

I was thinking Green as well Green it is.

Hey Toastyj!! are you ebay ID Toasyj77? I'm guessing so, but I'm doin my best to make sure the names on the list are just like the eaby ID's. so LMK

That said there are still a few names I wrote in from memory and need to update as soon as I see em on a bid list.

SoTU...ZWH's post may have been in jest, but I believe he really does have about 12 different id's...course some have been booted from e-bay..

I haven't bought Valiant books off ebay in years.

There is no way you guys will ever figure out my ebay ID.

[GGSAE]

Do you really have to post who wins what...is that necessary?

See... it is very hard to know....

[soundoftheuniverse]

If I think it's something interesting or a high for the week, i'll definitely add it next to the ID.

There aren't many auctions that finish high enough to mention. I liked the Blooshot #1 that almost went for $5 and stuff that goes for $100+ will probably be mentioned.

No, the bid ID is so that you know who to declare out right war on!

Ok making some progress. On page 12 of 22...

To make things easier for you to read I've color coded all the winners GREEN followed by a number which signifies approximately how many auctions the person's won since I've started counting. I've also tried keeping those with the highest auction wins at the front of the lists, just so you know who's doing the most damage.

Are you going to do the same for sellers like me? I sell upwards of 100 Valiant books a week - sometimes over 200. They are mostly commons for $.50 to $.99 though so I don't know if you want to keep track of them...

[whetteon]

How many do you WIN per week KC? Not sell.

Ok, I haven't ever OFFICIALLY done a count....

....but I'm fairly certain it's more than 12.

And hey...I should get points for being upfront about this in the first place.

P ~ p_shamdasani [10] ~

Oh man I need to stop buying crap on ebay

[depluto]

Looking at the poll backs up a belief of mine: There are many members on ebay.

[k_c_collectibles]

How many do you WIN per week KC? Not sell.

Not too many - sometimes I win a bunch of books from one seller for combined shipping, but normally only around 10 sometimes 20 a week. Probably half of them are for Wizard books. I usually buy Valiants from different places, but I bid on stuff I think is severely undervalued that I happen across.
