Ryn | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 05:08 am     I made a page again this year with all the official Survivor items listed (the ones sold for charity). http://ilovereality.com/Ebay/survivor.html Currently there are 40 items listed, if they do it like they did last time they will add items over the next couple weeks. Items so far include beanies (??), phone calls from Jeff, signed buffs, and a lot of props from the show. |
Ryn | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 05:16 am     As I expected I bid on several items only to be outbid immediatly - oh well - kinda fun to bid on the actual items - lol I am currently the high bidder on one item although I bet I am out-bid in the next couple of hours. |
Marebear | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 06:49 am     I was surprised last night when they burned the torches. All I was thinking when I saw that was how much $$ Rupert's torch would have brought for the charity. |
Ryn | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 08:02 am     yeah - I was surprised by that as well - but judging on how much stuff they already have posted - they'll make out fine. Last time they added more stuff every day or two. |
Halfunit | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 08:08 am     So Ryn, whaddya bidding on?  |
Ryn | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 09:35 am     I bid on the bullet case (or one of them) - and I have now been out-bid - lol But there are 6 days on these items - so pretty much anything I bid on I am sure to be out-bid. This is one of those auctions where you know you can bid and be sure you will never get the item unless you bid some crazy sum or are bidding at the last second. |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 09:48 am     You mean like the $16,000 for that one challenge score board? I saw it last night right after the show--it was the only item available at the time, and already had 93 bids. I figured the immunity cutlass would for for a few thousand dollars--but now I'm wondering if it will be more like $30,000? Sigh I don't have that kind of spare change just laying around. |
Wargod | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 10:17 am     Ha, if you do Lance, just remember when my birthday is, that would be a nice addition to my collection of weapons, LOL. |
Halfunit | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 11:22 am     The sad thing is, with those high bids so fast, chances are they are bunk. I can't access e-Bay at work (RESTRICTED site, lol), but I'll check the items out when I get home. I hate when smart-alecks have to ruin a good auction. |
Pcakes2 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 12:55 pm     I'm going to bid on the Jeff Shirt and call. Probably will be out bid in 2 seconds, but oh well...whatcha gonna do? |
Pcakes2 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 12:59 pm     OK...I am high bidder at $380...it's about 1:00pm PST...I will probably be outbid by 2pm. |
Heyltslori | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 01:30 pm     Can we bid on Jeff?  |
Dallasbbfan | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 01:39 pm     Lori, I'll go in on the bid with you if you'll share! |
Happymom | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 01:48 pm     If you really want an item, you have to never bid on it at all until you just snipe during the last few seconds of the auction! |
Ryn | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 02:42 pm     grrrrrr..... no comment on sniping.... ;) I have to believe that 1st item is a mistake - I can't believe someone will pay that much ($16,100) for a board. But the flag is now up to $1,500 I think - still a few items under $100 - and of course there will be more later. 6 days to go - think the flag will top $10,000 ??? |
Lancecrossfire | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 02:52 pm     I have lots of comments on sniping, however they would get moderated. The items that are lower priced aren't associated with a player or signed by a player. I can see the flag hitting 5K. The 16K could be an error, although someone will have to back out and not honor that bid--so if that happens we would most likely see that item again. |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 04:11 pm     Hey! Don't be hatin' on sniping! I'm a skilled sniper. Being able to win an auction in the last 10-20 seconds is so much fun! |
Reader234 | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 04:55 pm     LOL, dh is also a skilled sniper!! He's a computer geek, and I am surprised at you Ryn!! I thought he downloaded the program... hmmmm |
Scorpiomoon | Monday, December 15, 2003 - 05:29 pm     If anyone wants to know my sniping method, let me know and I'll post it here. |
