Note to self: do not tip off fan community about anything ever, as it does nothing but cause drama with retards like that guy.

Quote from Frank on the same thread:
"I knew tipping the fan community off would cause all sorts of weird bullshit like this.
Anyway. This guy is lying, and the anonymous collector who won isn't hl7_18."
There was a guy at SWS2B who said that he could bid $5000, but that he was feeling skeptical about the legitimacy.

Well if you would care to put forward a detailed statement to the goings on. Your lack of detail as to what is going on causes a lot of speculation.

The "fan community" stuff was in reference to my posting a thread at a Sonic fan site, in order to expose the sales thread here to a larger audience. Obviously this was a bad idea, and one I won't be making again in the future.
EDIT: And there was no gouging going on, every bid I had (with the exception of this ratman guy) was from either someone I knew personally, or "know of" in the collectors market.
Was that aimed at me? Because there's nothing to say that hasn't already been said/determined here. The $3,000 bid was placed by some dipshit who wanted to have a good laugh, the second highest bid of $2,500 was placed by an anonymous collector who has yet to reveal himself here. Dipshit has been revealed, disc is reverted to the second highest bidder. As I understand it payment arrangements are being made, and this thing is over.

It's nearly impossible to keep up with everything, if you want to read what happened on the Sonic scene side of things, visit that thread, it's visible to guests, so you don't have to register.
Ratman was the one who offered $3000. There was a person at SWS2B who goes by the handle of StephenUK willing to pay $5000, but unless if Ratman is completely lying and the seller never had such a thing in mind, and would take $5000, it's doubtul that he would buy it.

It wasn't any "fanboy kiddies" screwing things up. As far as I can tell, the fault here lies squarely on Ratman, who had never been seen before, and shouldn't be considered part of the Sonic scene.

Your assumptions are completely fabricated and help no one.

This is all assumptions...
So, Redeye, ratman, and "anonymous" collector were in on trying to get this demo to be sold at $2,500 whereas there other legit buyers who would pay the seller $3,000? If I had the money, I'd buy it at $5k and send a picture of the USPS money order with my screen name next to it, to the seller..
So, basically, the seller got screwed. I hope hes reading this stuff.

Anyway, as I said, this is all the fault of "ratman". The people that are "higher up" in the Sonic scene tend to be a lot more mature than that.
You'd do good to remember that it was thanks to Sonic sceners that we even were able to make it up to $2365. Before the last few minutes, we only had $1700.
