25% Buyer's Premium on Ebay

Postby Dave » Wed Nov 10, 2004 4:37 pm

Check out http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=2284503905&category=14282

It is for 4 Mills Slots. They don't bother to tell you the models or provide pictures.

On top of this, they are going to add 25% :shock: as a buyer's premium to the winning bid.

Slots on Ebay

Postby Carl » Mon Nov 22, 2004 4:11 pm

Hi,
Actually the buyer's premium was 10% or 15% and not a total of 25%. The Ebay listing only showed 2 of the machines. All 4 were in the auction catalog and I think you can view the catalog online at the Inman site. Not defending anyone just want to have the story correct. I tried to bid on numerous steam toys and was unsuccessful. Many of the items sold for 2 to 3 times the anticipated upper price estimate. Either the economy is changing or there were a lot of people with too much money at that auction.

Carl:

Thanks for clearing it up. The way they worded it made it really confusing.

Do you know what ind of slots they had and what they went for?

That seems really cheap given that one was a quarter and the other a dime (both pretty unusual in the QT line). Especially if that $6,000 includes the 15% premium. Even if it didn't, a pretty good price.

They should have done a better job of advertising what machines were going to be in the auction.
