OK we all know that a Round 2 Jon Jones Rookie Ruby base card has been listed for $12000 for a while.... and although I would really like to own that card I don't even bother making offers or asking questions when I feel like a seller has a price WELL above what I think is reasonable. (I know the seller is a member here, and I hope the listing gets him a lot of money, but for me that amount is well beyond what I would do)
I was checking Ebay today to see what gems may be listed and all of a sudden ANOTHER JON JONES ROOKIE RUBY BASE CARD POPS UP.... Actually within a minute of me finding it...
Well it was listed at $1000.... I thought about it.... thought about it, and made an offer.... then I thought about it....
and I decided that if I left that card for an hour, SOMEBODY, Most likely a memeber here.... would hit BIN and the card would be gone...
SO I did it... I hit BIN and will be the new owner of the Ruby Jones Rookie Base....
MY QUESTION TO YOU: How many of you honestly would have hit BIN if you saw it just like I did? I REALLY Debated.... but not for long. Let me know! THANKS |

Nice price in my opinion - I would have paid that all day if i would have noticed it :)
I usually go with gut on those types of tempting BIN prices
I will give you 1050 for it - LOL :)

NOW I AM TICKED OFF!!!
I paid for the card and then I got a message basically saying that the listing was a mistake, and it was to be listed at $10,000 OBO not $1,000 OBO.... and they will not be sending me the card... Ohhhhh I am not happy right now!!!
Not sure how much they really think they will get for it.... but I am really frustrated!

Pretty crappy thing to do for sure, I mean I can see giving the guy some slack if it was listed at like 100 and he meant a 1000, or 10 and he meant a 1000, something like that but come on. -------------

1000 was a good price - I would guess top price on that to be around 1500 - but hell i have never seen one sell so hard to gauge After all, A red ink RD 2 RC only goes 1500 - and i would MUCH rather have a red ink RC -
Just my 3 cents :)

Maybe it is just me but $1000 for a BASE Ruby /8 of my favorite fighter is something I would never even consider. At least the rare auto's have ... wait for it ... wait for it .. an AUTO.
The question I would ask myself is one Base Ruby /8 or 10 of his rookie autos ... rookie autos all day for me.

Auto is a must for me as well :) Especially for that kind of cash! Still would not mind having the card though

i would have paid double that in a heartbeat. And if anyone has a red auto from rd2 for 1500... let me know I will buy all 25 at that price. Sucks that you cant get it now. I emailed the seller to see what the 'new' price was going to be and they told me it was already sold.. so somebody probably emailed the seller AFTER you bought it and offered more. |

I guarantee that Matt is correct with his statement. Someone saw that they missed out on it and messaged the seller with a better offer. Shady, but it's not the first time that this has happened. Sorry for the emotional roller-coaster Imdaman.

I would not even give him $500 for a ruby base. Just my 2 cents. Look at the bright side, the seller saved you a grand. -------------

With an H-Bomb right around the corner that could Kill your investment I think you should be happy you didn't spend a grand on that card. 1 loss and everyone will turn on Jones SO FAST and the prices will fall from the sky. ------------- http://www.buymmacards.com/member-Elite - Buymmacards & EBay Cards for Sale http://www.buymmacards.com/scripts/buymmacards/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7053&title=elite - -Trade list |

That's bad business for sure man, sorry that happened to you! I bet someone offered him like $1200 so he said he meant $10,000 to cancel with you and then sold it to someone else for a few hundred more... Doing business like that will only lose you money in the long run!

I would have paid $90,000 for it - as long as it came with his Bentley :) After "All State" fixes that grille of course |
