im not too sure those vinyls are worth 25G, and its kinda BS he is asking the boys for their money or their help to record his tracks...

[Pootytang]

Dude, this moron is a power seller.

[paulb]

wow, he sells Mouse Trap parts for 1.99 a piece...

[checkyourhead]

Not only is he a power seller. He has bought a bunch of stuff in the last few weeks. including a digital camera!

[KENNY GUIDO]

HMMMMM......I have most of the stuff this kid has and I dont think its worth that much.


so, this kid is going broke and in debt? fuck him!

[timmie]

$25.000 wtf!! I have most of those, if not lots of other different ones! wow Im rich?

[Otis Driftwood]

It said the seller person is 33 yrs old. I think its retarded to call him a kid, I mean, come on. I'd not pay that money, but there is some sweet things in that lot.

[KENNY GUIDO]

He's trying to sell toys on ebay........maybe he is trying to grow up?

[Pootytang]

Don't take labels literally. When I call some one a kid, I'm not calling them a child. It's like if I called you dude, I'm not saying that you are an urban easterner who is vacationing on a ranch.

ie: I'm 29 and still refer to the pals in my favorite music genre as hardcore kids, even though some of us are early 30's and late 20's.

Hahaha, I remember getting those fanclub letter on Grand Royal stationery in 1992...pre-internet days, they sent the lyrics to CYH with those.

Wow. I wonder how much it costs just to list a $25k auction.

That's a good chunk of change to gamble with.

you mean how much of the 25k ebay gets? i think its around $1000

[EastcoastJL]

Look what it says at the top "Please help This Bi-polar Singer/Songwriter Out!"

I also like how he has the "Make no payments for 3 months" option!

Here's something to think about: if the Beasties wouldn't sign autographs for those guys after the Hollywood show, what are the chances of them forking over $25K to buy their own records?!!!

I don't know if I said this correctly.

What I'm thinking is:Ebay gets a percentage of the final auction selling price, but they also get a percentage of the listing price whether it sells or not.

So let's say I list something for $1,000. They get, I think, $5 right off the bat (plus extras if I add special headers, boldface, picture gallery, etc.). Then there's the percentage of the final listing fee as well.

I guess what I was thinking was -- if it's true -- here's some dude who's already "nearing Johnny Ryall status" who might not make a dime and STILL owe Ebay a few hundred bucks for a listing....

[kleptomaniac]

all i have to say is.....WOOOOOOOOOOOW....crazy :/

EBAY doesnt get anything unless the item sells. if it doesnt sell, the item can get reslisted for the same price or the seller can choose to lower his "reserve"

EBAY gets 3% of the final sale. so, if some moron actually wins it, EBAY gets $750.

I want the dolls,;) so beastie boys if your reading this please buy them for me.THANKS.

The best Beastie Boys eBay auction ever (http://www.bayraider.tv/2006/10/the_best_beasti.html)

There's a silver lining to every cloud. The cloud is that eBayer del01 is in debt to the tune of $25,000. The silver lining (for everyone else) is that he's selling off his prized collection of over 100 Beastie Boys items (http://cgi.ebay.com/BEASTIE-BOYS-PROMO-100-items-Rare-Action-figures_W0QQitemZ300042155439QQihZ020QQcategoryZ10 4677QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), including rare promos, picture discs and action figures. The price for the collection? You guessed it: $25,000. Although he'd quite like it if you could give some of the items back to him once you've bought them. No, I can't see it either. Anyway, to help del01 out of his financial quagmire, and bag yourself a Beastie treat, get bidding now.

(Beastie Boys collection (http://cgi.ebay.com/BEASTIE-BOYS-PROMO-100-items-Rare-Action-figures_W0QQitemZ300042155439QQihZ020QQcategoryZ10 4677QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem))
Bid until Nov-04-06 11:53:08 PST

[Pootytang]

He wants most of the items back? I guess this is the new age of panhandling.

[abcdefz]

EBAY doesnt get anything unless the item sells.


Uh... not so. Ebay gets an insertion fee. Trust me; I've had to pay it.

Yeah, you get to relist it a second time if there are no qualifying bids, but they still get a fee.


Insertion fees and final value fees. (http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fees.html)


But, now that I check it, the insertion fee for this is less than five bucks, so that's not going to break the bank.
