KrazyGeoff Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 (Not sure if this is the correct forum but...) This has to be the craziest trade me auction I have ever seen, a real test of market forces. What are these guys really worth, and what is someone prepared to pay? A brave HFF tests the talk vs. action theory. This may even be newspaper worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbird73 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 perhaps it is very clever marketing ploy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie841 Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Why do people bid on it now? A smart person would leave it till the last 2 minutes f the auction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Why do people bid on it now? A smart person would leave it till the last 2 minutes f the auction yeah, it's not smart at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 That's very cool. Who's going to run the book "closest to sale price". Last one of these on TM wAs about 3 yrs ago Nd went just under $900.Was adult female though I reckon they'll get close to retail once auction fever sets in and a few have already figured where they'll put the cave. And it won't be any of the names that have already bid either I'd suggest. Well done HFF! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 i think it depends on who wants it & how much they have to spend. i am picking around the $650 mark if HFF are lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiplymouth Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I hope its not won buy a novice with deep pockets who wants a show fish (that is likely to spent most of its life hiding under a rock) Here's hoping that whoever wins it buys a group so they may possibly breed from them in the future.

jim r Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Didn't someone on here say that HFF were only selling to "approved customers only" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-town... Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I wonder how many are actually left no point spending over $600 if you are only going to get one.....unless you have heaps of money and its just for it to go in your tank to look at.

A-town... Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I wonder how much success fees are going to be :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reptilez Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 it has allready reached the 600 mark! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I wonder how much success fees are going to be :-? the success fees won't be too bad. Around $30 - $40 and it gets the fish sold. Anything over $150 , and the % fee drops for the difference. fees is something I'm quite used to , with over 1400 trades 100% positive feedback... and no I'm not a home business lol. Just an old time Trade & Exchanger who has adapted to the modern way lol. I don't drive much so TM has been a godsend :-) and I sell off all the kids old stuff as well and the odd lot of guppy and platy fry. Been trying to make headway on ezyauctionz to support the ultra nice guy who runs it at all his own cost. .. but it's slow and not enough memberships yet.

I have had the pleasure of meeting the young man, and would suggest he is more capable of using TM responsibly than many 18+ I've met.
