JsARCLIGHT Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Now I know where all those Magic CCG weirdos went. Quote
EXO Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I feel like bidding on it, but I'm afraid of actually winning.. I wonder how many people have done that? Quote
Godzilla Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I feel like bidding on it, but I'm afraid of actually winning..I wonder how many people have done that? Why bid on it? Quote
Lynx7725 Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Here's the Bids Listing. I recognize one or two as online retailers, and you can tell (when it's sub 100) that some collectors are keen on it. But 25 Grand -- USD! -- for a piece of cardboard that is only slightly bigger than a name card? Better be gold-plated, inlaid with precious gems, etc. etc. Man. Quote

Only two English version in existance, this guys bidding on one of those two....I showed it to a co-worker whose kids are yugioh nuts, and he just about shat himself "Don't you EVER show this to my kids."

RichterX Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Now I know where all those Magic CCG weirdos went. Some one call me?? Well that bidding is really exagerated. The value of the most expensive magic card is somewhere around 800 dollars... 25.000 come on... go buy yourself a car and get you a life Quote
Hikuro Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 On the same note, you can get an RX-8 for 25 grand LOOSERS!!!!!! I say lets send the winner some evil mail with things he could have gotten for under 25 grand in a 12 days of xmas song! Quote
ogami Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 One question, IF this card is so rare, why the winner wants to sell it... Quote
JsARCLIGHT Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Because he knows some dork will pay $25K for it. Even the most hardcore card game player's sense comes back when they realize they can get a CAR for something they got for free. Just ask the people that catch all those homerun balls that sold for millions. Which would you rather have, a one of a kind collectable and the honor of being it's owner... or piles and piles of jack. Quote
EXO Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 One question, IF this card is so rare, why the winner wants to sell it... I'd say there's about 25,000 reasons why he would want to sell it. He'd be insane not to. Just like you'd be insane to buy it. Quote
Graham Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Heh, somebody should just use the image posted on the auction to print some high quality copies and flood ebay with them . Ok, I can understand the seller selling this. Heck if somebody is stupid enough to pay 25 grand for a peice of cardboard, then why not. More power to the seller. What I don't understand is the bidders. I mean I thought Yu Gi Oh was an anime & game just for little kiddies, i.e. under 10 years old. I don't see any little kiddies having 25 grand laying around, so does this mean that they either have very rich (and stupid IMO) parents or there are actually adults willing to blow that sort of cash on a kiddies card? The mind boggles ! OK, I'm a guy in his mid-30s who collects transforming plastic Japanese robot toys, so perhaps I shouldn't be so critical, but I still feel there is a big difference between spending maximum $200 on a quality robot toy, which is aimed at older collectors and spending 25 grand on a piece of card that is aimed solely at pre-teens.

Jolly Rogers Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 It's all relative. Ask the people who shell out crapload of money for something that was worn or used only once by a celebrity... It's tournament legal, doggoneit. Quote
sabretooth Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 does it play dvds? what the hell does that card do then?, get you a harem of strippers and a hotel room??? Quote
Godzilla Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 does it play dvds? what the hell does that card do then?, get you a harem of strippers and a hotel room??? With the cash that is spent, you better have the harem of strippers and hotel room for a week plus you get laid with all the strippers. Quote
Lynx7725 Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) For the seller, if he gets the 25 Grand.. aye, I think it does. I'm fairly sure that some of the bidders are doing it for fun, but you never know. 25 Grand for a piece of paper.. I wonder if the winner's ever going to actually use it in a deck. EDIT: Godzilla and I were thinking along the same lines. Great minds think alike.. and so do little ones, I guess. Edited December 15, 2004 by Lynx7725 Quote
