No, I don't subscribe to that philosophy. The people who are going to be paying big bucks for "hot" items aren't bright, or they aren't educated...

Hence, they're not going to be getting $$$$ back from withholding.

No, it's because it's 2-1 months BEFORE the premiere...when HYPE is at its height.

That, and the Spiderman commercials on TV will be INSANE.

Heh... gotcha.

I am SOOO itchy, though... maybe I'll put it out with a reserve, just to fish.

No, then I'll get hated on by everyone who dislikes the reserve option.

Damn, I'll just have to patient.

Speaking about Rai#3, this has got to be the highest I've seen sold on ebay for a raw copy within the last few years.

The prices of pre-unity Rai's is actually getting annoying, especially for 2 and 3. I've been watching for good deals over the last month to fill that gap in my collection.

I think it paid off. Got one with a BIN of $20 this morning. I'll just wait until it gets here to be sure. :hope:

Ugh.

I really can't stand Vikes.

It's like looking at prices from 2025.

Ugh.

45 bucks plus 6 shipping for a Rai #3? That dude must have been looking at an old Wizard from back in the day before he placed that bid.

I guess if they got that price once, might as well try again.

EDIT: fixed the link, I thinks.

In that case, it just showed me the same one still for sale after it had been bought.

EDIT: actually, I just fail at cut and paste :p

Could it be relisted?

If a seller re-lists an item, is a new number assigned to it?
