Glenn Strange Candy bucket Question

[frankenstein73]

That last bucket auction had frankenstein spelled frankenstien so most keyword searches would not have shown up.  So between the posting of the auction here and the people who saw it in its listed category is where the bids came from. Which was- collectibles>science fiction & horror>other. I personally think this bucket is just getting alot of attention right now and will settle back down after halloween. I cant count how many times nicer ones than the last one sold and brought around $300 to $400. Guess i should have bought mine back then.  Hindsight... although if a person wanted to upgrade and had a rough bucket, or one missing a handle etc.. now would be the time to sell it. And in a few months you could buy a nice minty one then for the same price you got out of your rough bucket now. id be tempted if it were me.

Very good point, I agree, and I'm probably one of those fools who gets caught up in the frenzy.
But, clearly I'm a little more timid than the 2 bidders above me.

[Hepcat]

Yes, but you helped make the winner pay up for it! That may not be such a good thing though....

[ilikemonsters]

Say whut, I bid what I was willing to pay for it. What's your point?

[Hepcat]

You said you were a timid fool. I disagreed on the basis that you had nonetheless accomplished something meaning you weren't so timid or foolish after all.

It ended up selling for $455, and I'll bet if someone else had been willing to bid that price, you would find the winner was willing to pay over $500, so obviously he really wanted it.  I remember seeing the Universal Monster Chess set talked about on this site, found one on Ebay, and bid on it.  I lost.  So I waited, found another set listed, and actually paid less for it, then the one I lost out on.  I would have really have to be desperate for this bucket, if I'm willing to pay half a grand, for something (because of the replaced strap) that wiill reduce it's value to many high end collectors.  I have no doubt that another one, will show up in better condition, and might sell for less in time to come.

Yes, often times when the high bidder gets his, the price of an item drops dramatically because the fellow is no longer there to bid the price up.

Or if everyone sells their damaged ones like Frankenstein73 suggested, the next minty one is going to be the subject of an intense bidding war!

Ya i just bid what i could bid. honestly with it's flaws i think it went for too high.

[ilikemonsters]

Oh, I see what you mean, I guess I got a little defensive, I read it that I was unfairly bidding the winner up.
Glad you don't think I'm a timid fool.

Haha! yeah if everyone did that the next mint one would be a sight to behold.

There's nothing unfair about bidding the price up for Horror1o1. The more he ends up paying the more he'll appreciate it. 

[ilikemonsters]

Of coarse, of coarse.
Don't forget Miss Dead, wasn't she hot after the bucket too?
In fact I'm surprised she hasn't been posting on this thread.
