It's cool, man. This whole thing has been a gigantic pain in my ass, but it's just about over now.

Hi
Then it looks like the Ratman was a fake ?
I wonder if the anonymous collector would be gentle with the Sonic community...
As an old Sonic fan I'd love to have a copy of Sonic X Treme...
I don't really care about the original thingie
for all Sonic fans and video games fans who know what the hell is Sonic X treme,
it was really an important moment.
If I knew, I would have proposed 3000$ by myself since I had them...
but since I'm not rich 3000$ is really too big... so I did not bid...
but I totally regret it... :smt022
then, if the winner read this...
I just want to say I'm seriously interested !

But if what is said is true, the bidder at 2500 had someone throw a wild bid in to kill the competition.
It seems to me that that was a *tad* disingenuous and if proved true, the auction would prove null and have to be redone. However,this isn't a proper auction, so I suppose sly fox gets the chicken.
The question is is true, does the seller care enough to know he was probably fooled into a lower bid, etc.
Well there's a big difference between the type of users frequenting this forum versus a game specific forum.

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.
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.

I don't think anyone's worried about begging for rips, I think we're more worried about the fact that ratman fucked us over good, for whatever reason. Hired by the collector? Possibly. He's lied throughout the whole thing, so the only thing he said that I believe, is that he fucked us over (which is also just common sense).

If you knew who the winner was, you'd know this just isn't likely. My theory remains that this is just some idiot who reads Sonic forums and has nothing better to do but cause drama on the internet.

Well, I'm certain that the potential $5000 offer from StephenUK is now completely withdrawn, so looks like an anonymous person has fucked both the Sonic scene and ASSEMbler's over pretty good.

The unfortunate thing about it, is that we were on the verge of collecting the necessary amount for the game to be handled by guys willing to share.
Ratman screwed that whole drive we had started, and caused us to miss out.

That's why I said we got fucked here, too. Hell, we probably had enough people willing to pay $40 to actually have $2600 :/
