What happened to this auction? No last minute bidders?

Strange...

Looks like people got "Spooked".

Would this auction have ended higher had all the earlier BS not
occured?

maybe the 10k rediculous price spooked everyone. That's insane. For
10k. I better have a team of designers over at my house to develop a
game specifically for me. I'd pay 10k for that. only if Popadiuk and
Lawlor were part of that team.

Isn't $10k for a _pinball machine_ enough?

Somebody paid too much money for a game that they will never play
because the second they start playing it the value drops to 6 or 7K.
I'm going bet ya that we see this game go for sale again within the
next 2 years and the owner will want $13,000+ for it. #757 Anyone who
actually plays there pinballs would of spent the money on a really nice
collection, not a "Look but don't touch CC". Congrats on who won the
game. Enjoy the game.

I think everyone just got the Ebay Crazies when it looked like it was a
13K machine.

10K is a freakin crazy level for ANY pin. I can think only of a $20000
ebay BBB from a few years back and also Elvira's NIB Scared Stiffy that
hit $10K.

This is one of the most expensive pins ever to sell so I wouldn't try
to make it look like a bust. I smell Hemisphere's $100 bills that he's
smoking tonight.

The auctin suffered from TOOOOOO much information. I mean would you
normally bid on something described to sickening detail and with all
the drama? Not to mention the just awful font size/color choice
throughout. It just turns you off.

Too bad as that machine probably could have done even more $ especially
if he put it in front of a garage door!

Wasn't that Gene from IP, that paid the high price for the BBB that was
at Expo?

The NIB Scared Stiff came with an in-person visit with Elvira,
(Cassandra Peterson), I believe. Now that one I would have bid on.

Uh, maybe its because nobody has 3 hours to read you're e-book listing.
Sheesh, you should have just briefly explained what happened and
listed the thing again. Pre-approved bidders? Cmon man, thats about the
best way to ensure that you won't have any last minuet bidders. That
is seriously the absolute worst ebay auction listing I have ever seen.
