looks like he removed some of the info he "borrowed" from Greg's site, as well. Very good! :clap:
He didnt have to remove the information, he just needed to give credit and provide a link! Well, it will definitely sell now.

Let the bidding wars begin. Not that I expect to win the thing, but good on Cameron for lowering the initial bid.

I thought ten pound would cover ebay fees if thats all it went for looks like an extra zero just slipped itself in there.

Glad I could entertain you.






For the record, I am sufficiently embarrassed, i hang my head in shame.
Awww, dude, no hard feelings. ;) Anyone with enough humility to come on the board and admit a mistake like this is a-ok.

Hell, that's why Jedi's even here!

;)

(100 sodding pounds sterling.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: )

Now I feel bad for picking on the guy... :oops: :cry:
Why? That's what we do around here.
not true...at least not all the time and we are VERY tame compared to many other boards.

As a group we do tend to get on certain things, but we are also very willing to forgive accidents...look at Jedimarley...his first 20 posts or so were in defense of an ebay listing....now he is a mainstay of the community.

<snicker>

You can all blame Jedi on me. ;)

I only recognize a couple of board member names on the bid list, ggsae and tarheelmarine. Are the other ones members here too?

Redtrax?

Also, that dragon guy is a seriously valiant buyer, he's all over the place. But he should probably pass on this auction, looks like our friend is shilling.

Ok, to set the record straight:

YES I fcked up with my starting bid, I definately don't deserve that much for somthing I only spent 70 cents on,

But I am not shilling! Why would i have a shill I'm allready way in profit if the current bid holds.


Without mentioning names I even turned down offers for a 'buy it now' way over the price it's on at the moment because I wanted it to be a fair auction and I wanted to give the people that were so angry at me to start with on this site a chance in it.

What the *SQUEE* to i have to do round here to be accepted as an honest

You have to admit, the newly registered bidder with zero feedback (shawey123) who just zipped in and bid 8 times just looks very suspicious.
