Default Ebay Auction

I am perplexed. I'm sure many of you have seen this aution:

http://cgi.ebay.com/5-Team-NFC-East-...item20b6114dc2

and perhaps even bid on it. I have been watching auctions for several years and this is the highest price I have seen for a later model Super Bowl. Even though it comes with some extra teams, I was wondering if anyone might know why bidding on this particular one has gone so high. It is in great condition and the teams are very clean, but it seems like everything could be purchased for less $.

I already have the same model, and I would never sell it. I am just curious.

Thanks for any insight you can give.
Michael

Default Crazy bidding.

Thanks for the quick responce Coach Rip.

I know prices used to be alot higher before custom boards became the norm, but I didn't think any Tudor/Miggle board went for anything close to that, even with a bunch of teams

That is a crazy high bid. I used to sell sets like that and made about $100-$125 a set but nothing like this. Sometimes eBay works like that.

Sometimes a person wants something so bad they will pay way too much

Default Not that board...........

Like rip said, 10 or more years ago. But it would have had to be a 620 with old school teams & bases.

This is either a bid up, or somebody thinks those bases are original frosties.

Default no way, but so what....

no way should this field/teams be that much!!!!

With that being said..... DON'T HATE THE PLAYER, HATE THE GAME!!!

if you can get that kind of $$$ for that field/teams, there is still hope for my stuff!!!!

In the ebay of old, yes I paid too much for a field or 2, but also got some steals too (Chiefs vs Vikings field for $25) so it can happen....
