You really do not need a time machine . It seems a lot of the Victorian stuff is going for a lot lately 4083

I meant to buy all those great sets, my wife would kill me if I paid those insane ebay prices ;)

Hello 5300 collectors  :wave:

   Looks like some of the high dollar 5300's were not paid for ( or something else  :hmm:) and were re-listed. I wonder if there was some buyers remorse or some shilling. I really do not like how Ebay now hides the names of bidders, it makes it so hard to keep track of shilling, deadbeats and general shenanigans  ::)

The one that sold for $660 , on the re-list it went for $471.66 . When it sold originally the highest bidder is no longer with Ebay ?

The one with extra sets and went for $830, now is at $405 with one day to go . When it originally sold for $830 the highest bidder is also gone from Ebay ?

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Who knows what's happening.  The smaller sets seem to be going well.  The MISB 5300's are not doing quite so well.  On a positive note, I haven't seen a seller offer more than one of the houses - yet. I am curious who this "e***e"  bidder is... I almost want to list something just to find out!

Hi Reylocann  :wave:

   S***E (185) Might be somebody you want to watch for too. They throw out some big bids  :2c:.
   The auction I mentioned in Reply #17 & #19 is also gone ? I do not remember Ebay being like this  8}

EDIT: the seller who has the 5300 w/extra sets sent me the following

Thanks for your interest in this auction.

Yes this is a relist from the late October auction I had for this item. I received notice that the winning bidder was no longer a registered ebay member (5 days after the auction had ended). I offered a second chance offer to the next highest bidder, but they did not take it.

Thus the relist.

Thanks
