Ebay Competitors
on Friday, August, 29, 2003 2:59 PM
Here's a question I have been wanting to ask. I always wonder who I am competing against on Ebay for items. I am more likely to back off on an item if I know it is a fellow TRON Sector Conscript. TronProgram and I have a deal that if one of us is already bidding we leave the item alone. Not planning to do that with everyone or I'd essentially stop collecting, but I'd like to know who I am bidding against sometimes.

I bid as Traumantic. Anyone willing to divulge who they are?

I go onto ebay on occassion to see what's there as for tron things. But I don't bother since its usually in US prices. WIth currency exchange. I know they have a ebay canada. If I did have an account on Ebay you will be the first one to know Davetron.

To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

I look at ebay once in a while but I can never afford anything good on there.

Hey DaveTRON, what about RARE items would you give someone else a chance against that. I've seen what you & TRONprogram bid on, and TRONprogram BIDS big. I've lost a few auctions because of him, otherwise I would have some RARE items added to my SHRINE.

I would like to expand my TRON collection, but when I see those TWO names bidding I know IT'S OVER, I've already lost. I go by sci-fi-boy, from TRON-sector.

I am a patient man, I know these things come up again at certain times. If you see something you want and want me to back off, just drop me a line at my private email address which I have put in your personal messages. If it's not something I am desperate to buy, I will step aside. Don't want to hog it all!

I go as Flynns77. Only ever bought Tron trading cards and a top/jacket of Flynns cat suit - seller turned out to be a costume designer friend of mine who does stuff for movies. Bizarre.

Anyway, I'm thinking about bidding for a Tron arcade cabinet if it ever crops up, but if someone really wants it then that's cool.

Cheers,

Red5

noticed you are from Buena Vista.
In my hometown we used to have a video store that had the Buena Vista font for its name: Vista Video.
The shop sponsored my old breakdancing team (yep, the year was 1985 folks): putting the name on all our suits. However, they also gave us these shiny, car-stickery-kinda-things, with Vista Video in the Buena Vista font colored in Gold, with our hometown printed alongside it.
If I ever get round to photographing it, I'll scan it and email it to anyone who wants it. I may put it on Ebay, but let's face it, would anyone really want to bid for it? It does look cool, retro even, but who knows?

Ta,

Red5

TRONProgram and I have an arrangement that whichever gets to an item first the other does not bid.

I can't speak for him, but I have backed off on some items in the past when asked nicely.

I actually don't bid very much anymore unless it is a very rare item that i don't already have.

Shortly some of you might be taking a crack at some of my collection. I have a few pieces I am considering selling.

Unfortunately, I can't bid on stuff. ^^; I'm saving my money to get my teeth fixed. -_- (Dentist is sooo expensive, gah)

So you guys won't see me on ebay for a while.

Kia,

I have recommended to some of my temporary employees who don't get benefits to look into Dental Schools as a source for getting expensive teeth issues addressed. Many Dental Schools look for people who are willing to allow students to do procedures for experience. Might be a low cost way to get over that hurdle.

Hrm... I think WSU has a dental school, but I need to check that out. (I know there's a nursing program at least.)
