Look what this X valve sold for

[mag79]

Did it really sell? Or was it his buddies raising the price?

I swear that it was for sell a little bit ago....same pic...no bolt and bolt spring!!??

[211]

in the questions and answers he says it comes with the bolt and 1 spring

I had that in my watch list and had major suspicions about it. I watched it out of curiosity and couldn't believe the bidding!!! Marshallf221 called it, "What world do they live in?!?!?!?" :eek: :confused:

I missed that auction. I've been keeping my eye out for xvalves, butI was searching for "automag" and I don't think that came up in that auction.

That said i would not have touched this auction with a 10 foot pole.

I'm sure you're right that they weren't happy about the sale price so they bid it up with another account so they wouldn't have to settle up.

It appears to have a ULT in it. Free shipping. It would be a good price for a trusted seller on AO. Not a great deal for the buyer. Someone must have really wanted it to put up with the odd listing and 0 feedback.

I concur. 180-220 is the general range I've seen them go for here on AO, so 232 (especially if it does include a ULT) isn't that far out of the ballpark.

Heck, with the title being what it is, I was expecting the valve to either have been <100 or >350.

Yeah, I was the one who asked. I was talking about no bolt and spring in the pic. It looked like the same pic not too long ago.

Lots of shill bidding on eBay. Been buying and selling there for years. If you gonna buy something, you want to try and bid last second. They won't have a chance to do that. I was checking one guys feedback and the buyer said he canceled transaction. Probably didn't get what he wanted. I mean it sucks to not get what you want for something, but come on. You can't even check out the bidders because they block out the ID's. Otherwise you could investigate for yourself and find out. I saw a refurbished SP1 I was bidding on go for $183.00 plus $15 shipping. They were $179.00 new and could get free shipping- hmmmmm.

A valve is $250 new, $232 shipped (in good shape, with ULT) is high but not scary high. I recently bought a like-new valve with springs and shims/spacers for $195, but it had a stock on/off... I'd look to pay $215-$220 for the valve in the auction, considering it just comes with the one spring. Bear in mind there are plenty of people out there who don't know that the MSRP on the X-valve as dropped so significantly in the last year.

As for the seller, I see that type of situation a lot, and don't think much of it. Usually its "daddy" selling for his son on a personal account because the kids bored of it, though sometimes it's mommy paying off this months cellphone bill overages as a punishment. I don't usually see fresh accounts made for the kid by a parent, but I've definitely seen it.
