3Leaf Audio Club - Episode 2

Ok ebay gurus, back in the 90s I could really manipulate ebay sales, since then they've cracked down on carries and counter bidders, but did these actually sell for this?? The last one was 799usd btw

Absolutely. And your screenshot left out the last auction which closed at $1030! My guess is that since these were staggered, folks who lost in previous auctions tried sniping in subsequent ones. The first auction had less snipers than the rest; and notwithstanding the 3rd auction, the closing price climbed with each succeeding auction (it was actually the 1st auction that ended at $799).

Spencer said they were a few winners from the EU who backed out last time due to the excessive customs fees/VAT, and I think he said one other winner who was just confused about the whole auction thing.
But it was successful enough to do it again.
I just hope the people who bought the pedals are keeping them. If they don’t mind paying that much for something they want then I’m glad that Spencer is getting the money and not scalpers.
I have a hard time thinking that they will be able to resell the pedals for that much but what do I know.
