They're in "mint" condition too. So this sucker paid WAY too much for glasses that, more likely than not, have "a few small scratches".

Matt Kenseth Splice that went to 440$ WOW !

"WOW" is right... Man, that's a lot of ca$h for those - especially in this economy. Sick shades, though...

Still, how often do you see THOSE pop up?

I can't remember how much we paid for ours, but I think we got really lucky.

Retail was 175$ if I remember and theres at least 1-2 pairs every year, so its rare but it still went the crazy bidders road I say.

They were $150 originally. I remember it distinctly.

Can someone be that crazy ?

$440 for a Kenseth Splice is crazy, but it is the prettiest of all the stock Splices.

Can someone be that crazy ?

I can't read that auction, dude... How much is that?

52 € ($72 USD) for a little SI sticker ...

That you could easily rip off a pair of your SI Assault Shoes.

Now that IS crazy!

So, right now I have a pair of Why 8.0 up for sale on the bay. I just noticed the current high bidder is bmcraps. There's 4 hours left to go. Should I boot him, or let it go? If I had another account, I would think about shill bidding him. But as it stands, I don't, and I'd rather not stoop to his level.

I sold 2 of them for $95 and $90 after I saw one go for $132. Funny how the boots were only $96 at the time on the US Standard Issue site. Daddy needed new shoes!

Tough call Jason. On one hand, you are making the sale, but on the other hand you are feeding the bloodsucking leech of the eBay galaxy. I'd let it run its course and if he gets it - whatever. Just my two cents.

If I was ahead on them, I wouldn't worry about it. But right now I'm still losing a little money. I think I'll sit back and see what happens for a while. Hopefully someone else drives the price up a bit. The 2 other pairs I have up that end tonight are way ahead already. Selling can be way more exciting than buying! I also have a pair of Fire Polar Square Wire 2.0's that aren't up for another day and a half that are ahead by $100 and counting. I'm glad because I didn't really want to sell them at first. Now I'm like, $CHING CHING$!

Don't feel too bad, bro. There were a couple of other members here who sold to bmcraps in the last couple of weeks/month, you gotta get paid!

cha-ching!

Yeah, but if I'm gonna sell to that shmuck, I'd rather make a profit, even if it's a small one. If it comes down to crunch time and the price isn't higher, I'll be pissed. Could I get in trouble for cancelling his bid? I'd rather make a few bucks less than sell to him for a loss.

You can cancel his bid or just end the auction early.

End it early, I didn't think of that, thanks for the reminder. If the price doesn't go up by at least another $10-$15 I'll probably do that. I have a pair of Valve's that I will end early if they don't go way up. I love those things and they're mint.

As a seller, I am so loving the crazy bidders right now! bmcraps is out on the Why 8.0's, and I'm way in the green with 2hrs to go...

Looks like someone never paid for their $440 + shipping 24K Splice... but they ended up selling for an even crazier amount:
