I was shocked. When I checked my account. I kept asking did the bidding really jump that high?
And no, the seller (me) has no clue who the bidders are. I initially listed this with a buy it now at $1300. All I wanted was to get my money back out of the train to get something else my daughter and I could run on the Christmas layout.
Don’t jump to conclusions that I am a horrible person manipulating the hobby.

Ryan - I've had that happen with a few auctions that turned out to be scammers too. The buyers wanted me to ship as soon as I received their check.

Mainly with somewhat hard to find Nintendo NES games. You figure it should sell for a $ 100 or so and suddenly its at $ 500.

So i insisted on Paypal like my ad said. No checks.

Of course, I never did see the money - but I didn't ship them the game either!
