Was bidding on this one on eBay - but was overbid.

same here >:-(
I think it worth the price you paid

yup this came from ebay, thought I made a good deal as the item was listed on ebay france and there is not a lot of crimp collectors in france, but if you talk to me about int' ppl bidding on this that's a bit different.
Anyway telling me the value is the value I paid for it doesnt make my day :)
So you guys would have paid cheaper for it ?

We would have paid arround what you paid ... It s all the same story when it come to bids : the one that puted 100 could also put 102 or 102.66 ...
I think we all 3 bided arround what we think it worth : arround 100 euros.
But you won and we lost ...
Don t worry though, It s not a big deal. It happened to me to bid 4-6 times what a card worth if i realy want the card ... When this happen you pray that there is not someone as crazy as you bidding

Here, we don t realy want the card but it s a "cool" card : Who has one crimped vesuvan beta ? not much poeple.
I guess Knutsen is red (1042), you see me and you won ...

I feel a little bit of love for this card because it s rare, it s a vesuvan, it s MTG factory that destroyed it ...
That s why i feel a little bit of pain when i see you just bought it to make some money on it 24 hours later.
For me it was a bit of love, it s just love vs business ...
It doesn t match, it s always a pain

I think the value you paid is arround what it worth : because it s "cool" but it s also destroyed ... So it s not like if the card was PSA 10.
I don t think you will make a lot of money on this card, at least in the next couple of month.
If you want to get rid of it because you can t make money on it, i would buy it back and you won t see it for sell for a while

Hehe ... Almost right - I'm 'Knut_Knutsen' on eBay - but I also didn't want to rais my bid over 100 USD at the end. :)

I didn't really buy it to make money on it, i'm just not on crimped cards but i have a fair "little" collection of 15 fbb vesuvan and a beta one. The card is gorgeous and in a very nice shape, I didn't think I would win with such a price.
Then that's why I came asking if this was a good deal because in france, very very few people are collecting crimps (I was more than happy when gunsligah bought my crimps), or I don't know these people.

No offense, I was not taking offers on the website, just trying to have a legitimate estimation of a card I had the feeling to have paid a low price (still think 100 bucks is not very expensive but that's only based on the price one should offer for it).
I guess posting message just after having won the card was not really diplomatic ...!

PS : that's a clean desktop tromagic :)

No, maybe it wasn't.

Anyway ... Good luck with that nice card!

yep, my desktop is a mess, my office too

They said in a research study that it help creativity but the problem come when i have to look for that Vesuvan Doppelganger that i bought 10 years ago

It can also be cool when i find some good old cards looking for that Vesuvan Doppelganger. The funny thing is that i try to teach my kids to tidy up there room, like my parents did with me

I see you listed the Vesuvan Doppelganger on MCM for 250 Euros. $:-\'$

I won a card tonight that could end this thread on a funny note :

Yes, Edvard wasn t avaible to make his famous painting and i saw lot of nice cards made by Marta, but this one is the best i have seen from her ...
I bidded hard on this one.
Also, there was also a nice time walk, the back was in less good shape ... but already i regret i didn t bid more ....

Hopefully it will be avaible for sell tomorow on MCM (just kidding)
Peace,
