Oh hey man,

Yes my bids always come at the last second heh. At the most 3 seconds left :) I almost missed out because I was watching Full Metal Jacket, looking for updates on sites I visit only when my wife is napping :evil:, and doing some critical work left over from the office I have to get done by tommorrow.

What can I say I love MGS2 heh.

Trust me niyachan beats me out all the time. In no way can I match him if he REALLY goes for something. It's crazy. I bid $433.33 on a poster once and HE BEAT ME! I think he enters all "9" 's when he aggressively pursues an item. I've cursed his name quite a few times. On the plus side though if he sells something he'll give me the heads up first and I admire his collection greatly.

It's easily the best collection on the web with pictures to back up the item list.

Heh, I was pissed I forgot about a McFarlane figure I FORGOT about today. It's the Toy Fair silver Solid Snake still sealed (less than 100 exist - I know because I know someone who works with McFarlane Toys).

It went for $23!

I bought one last week for $42 which was a steal. I actually offered the other guy $42 if he ended it early but he said he'd take his chances on the auction and got just over half what I offered heh.

I am so glad I am no longer into collecting Metal gear stuff (at least in general). Some years back we were around 4 collectors. I recall that me and James usually had settled who would get the stuff before bidding, so we didn't step on one other's toes.

Heck, we sometimes told each other to buy something for the other if we were to be sleeping at the time. We even had each other's Ebay account for snipping when on vacation/needed. =P

But it is really nice to see you guys gathered here, I wonder how I'd feel if I were still getting that kind of items and into the action of snipping, miss those times.

Heh, I always have my macbook with me on vacation so I never miss anything. I don't get the chance to snipe though heh. I think when I'm in Japan at the end of the year all my money will be going into Akihabara so you guys got a good 2 weeks of me out of the running for anything on the auction sites.

There are a select few who if I know are bidding on something I'll back off totally. Heck I've even sent them the links to the items a couple times too! That's usually only if it'll be a double of something though :mrgreen:

if any of you is using a cellphone with 3G or edge connection, I made some Widsets to notify of new items and item status on YAJ. There are already automatic ones for ebay.

And of course, you can always bid from the cellphone, easier to carry around.

I had no idea so many people were eying the Toy Fair Silver Solid Snake. THANK GOD I won it at such a low price then!!! :) I offered him 5 x more too if he'd close the auction and sell it to me, but he didn't. I'm sure he wishes he did though.

I was interested in this, but it doesn't seem my phone is supported. I use Verizon now, used to be T-Mobile.

I remember when i finally found the MGS2 CE (tin box) with the Playing Cards on ebay. I mailed the seller and everything, making sure i would be able to bid from Sweden, and he said it was ok. So when sniping the last seconds... of course it did not work.
Walleye @ TUS got it...


Another thing that got me pissed was when i tried sniping MGS2 Substance. Ebay tells me i need to fill in my accountnumber and stuff! Just when i dont have time for it!

I hate that!! It always happens to me when I ask the seller if they ship to Canada, and they agree, but when I try it, I'm not allowed to bid.

No way man, I looked at the bidding page and the 1st bidder was o***n ( 120Feedback score is 100 to 499). when I bid on it, the highest bidder was h***h( 13Feedback score is 10 to 49) , I assumed because you said you were the first bidder that you were o***n. Therefore, I thought it was safe to bid mate.

I'm really sorry man. I would never have done that if I'd known you were still in the race.

The item is yours if you still want it mate, I honestly don't mind giving it up to you. Please let me know, we'll sort out payment and I'll ship it straight on to you mate no problems at all. I'll even accept paypal costs as my responsibility fella. Hows that for a deal!?!?
