Wouldn't be a great idea to raffle one off for charity? If there was a well to do collector among us who would be willing to donate one, I bet the good folks at the UMA would bring some serious green for a good cause (not to mention make one of us monster collectors VERY HAPPY). You could raffle tickets for $5 or $10, and maybe have a limited number available (say 100-500 tickets). Just a thought....

I second the motion. Any well to do monster fans out there willing to donate for a good cause... celebrity status among his monster brothers and sisters and undying devotion and thanks from the lucky winner? Or personal slave for life if Horror101 wins.

With 5 days to go, it won't stay at $129. Even if somebody didn't post that link, I have no doubt the bidding will skyrocket in the minutes before the auction ends.   Posting that link at least means a greater chance that one of the members here, who is willing to spend the hundreds I have no doubt it will go for, will be able to add it to their collection.

no doubt it will bring more than the $129. But there are 5,000 people in this place alone and countless Lurkers. It tends to hype items up to ridiculous prices when they are posted in threads like this one. I spend a lot of time searching on ebay for items, it pays off at times. I have bought things that i never could have owned because it went under the radar of this place.  this is not a new issue here at the uma, there are many threads with people debating whether or not we should post random auctions we find," just trying to help". I for one do not agree with it. Unless it is your auction, or a close friends, and posted properly in the classifieds. Or an auction that has an item that is a fake or people need warned about so they dont get screwed. Or if its already over and we want to discuss it. All of us here have a computer and access to ebay, but not everyone has the time to look. Which gives the ones who do a bit of an advantage. all i ask is let everyone do their own legwork. Or if you know someone here who wants an item send them a link through a p.m.

I understand where your coming from. I posted about auctions before and was quickly told it wasn't a good idea and i realized why. i do appreciate a pm if someone sees something they know i want which i have gotten a few from some very nice chaps.

Has anyone mentioned that the strap seems to be replaced on this one?

ya it says so in buyers comments. looks like there could be extra holes under the strap also

[ilikemonsters]

Huh... I don't know how I missed that. Except I'm not sure 'rerivited' is a word.

Build my gallows high...I was trying to help to get this item in the hands of one of the many members here who want one

[ilikemonsters]

What kind of rope do you want?

I felt that was what your motives were, and I apprciate people in this forum thinking of the other members.  I also realize it really sucks, when you already know of an item, and then having a link to the auction posted, because that will drive the price up.  But even if the link hadn't been posted, that item wasn't going cheap.  This one may go for somewhat less, because things like a replacement strap would be a turnoff to some of the more hardcore collectors.

[admin]Just wanted to be clear about something. Many members are not in favor of posting auction links on the UMA until after the auction is closed, or if it is a high profile listing (listed properly with correct keywords and category, and usually with a high BIN price or opening bid), and it is a subject of much discussion here, but it is NOT against the rules of this forum to post auction links, whether they are yours, or are unaffiliated.
