Ooh, this is interesting, didn't notice it before: 5. All items will be available for collection from Waterloo, London. Otherwise, items will be shipped using Royal Mail Special Delivery. The buyer will cover the full cost of this shipping. Insurance will be available, for an extra cost. I guess now we know the pickup location for the pianos! That's also a good way to save on shipping, ha. I'd have to get my sister to drive to London for me! :P

Yeah I know :sick: I think it's investors driving the prices up to be honest. There is no reason for them to be so high so early... Rich people suck...:veryangry2: Some of the other items, which are actually nicer, are the same price or less!

It depends on your browser. I have Firefox, and there's a setting where it automatically clears your cache when you close all browsers. This is the fastest and easiest way to do it. Then you just open a new browser, re-login to Ebay and voila!

YAY! I got first bid on Will's AROBTTH Framed Poster thingy! Not that it really means anything, but YAY!!! :dance:

Ok, so my goal today was to try and get as many first bids as possible with 1 pound!! Figured, might as well have some fun without contributing to driving the price up and figure out some stuff along the way. I found out some interesting things: 1) It IS possible to be the first bidder multiple times bidding only the minimum bid of 1 pound!! I was able to be the first bidder on: 4 AROBTTH Lithos 2 IMP Lithos I was also the first bidder on Will's AROBTTH frame, but I bid 10 pounds on that since I really want it and was worried 1 pound would not get the first bid! 2) Some bastard is definately rising the bidding prices since I noticed today it only took 4 or 5 bids to get to the same price as the Shiver Lithos yesterday with 20 or so bids :angry: I also noticed that some I missed on being the first bidder for 1 pound, the first bid was say 100 pounds! They are also newly registered (no feedback) and have bidded on mulitple items with a first bid of 100 pounds or more... I checked their bid history, and they have ONLY bid on items in this auction! It says: "Bid activity (%) with this seller: 100%". :stunned: So there's definately a conspiracy here! 3) Clear your cache! Basically, a new item is posted every 2 or 3 minutes. That gives you time to clear your cache. But since it erases your login, you have to re-login. This REALLY helps since your computer is faster at getting the item and it obviously worked today in my little experiment! Oh well, in the unlikely case any of these items are within my budget, at least being the first bidder gives you a tiny legs up in the final battle! No sign of another BIN though...

It is! :thumbsup:

Damn, the Don't Panic litho went? So that's two a day I guess... Mmm, one at auction start and one at midnight-ish UK, I wonder if there will be a trend! :sneaky:

A lot of us saw the first one today (Shiver Litho) and tried to get it, but were not successful. Also, the '0' you are talking about is a feedback score, so it just reflects buyer feedback of the seller, not the # of items sold. OMG I PASSED 1000 posts!!! YAY!!! :dance:

Oh looks like they added the other Shiver lithos... so I guess that means there was only one BIN so far.

It looks like they are putting all the lithos up but the BIN one, other than Shiver. I think they actually put up 3 BIN for Shiver since only 6 remain on the site. Not sure if any of the other BINs other than Shiver have gone yet. I think they are holding on to them and releasing maybe a few a day. At least I still have the first bid on one of the Shiver lithos as my participation, ha. And it's still the lowest price of the bunch, although I doubt I'd pay almost $500 for it :rolleyes:

LOL, I just literally sat for about 20 mins on the Buy-It-Now page refreshing with F5 to see if I could get the Parachutes Lith, but I give up. That is my commitment done for this, ha. It's all luck for those. At least the Shiver Lith I was the first bid on is still the cheapest one of the bunch...

OMG THE GLOBE!!!!! :dead:

Eh, it's all luck and money really isn't it?! :shrug:

Arrgh, Parachutes Lith up now

Um and disappeared again?! :wtf: Also, Will's Guitar had 350 pound shipping?!?!

Aww, Will's guitar is now up...

I think this is just the frantic beginnings... hopefully as more stuff arrives, it won't be so crazy?

Yeah, the two pianos cannot be shipped... OMG, I wonder where you pick them up at... It would be crazy if you actually got if FROM them :dead:

Well, this is the first run too, so everyone is panicking, haha... Maybe over time, when more items are available, stuff will be more reasonable?

Ugh, they are going up quick... The lithograph I bid on though has the lowest bid amount out of all of them thank god :thumbsup:

Well, I only bid 1 pound, so that's not hurting anything, but I got the first bid time, so it's not much, but it's a hand up. Yeah, shipping is kind of crazy though!! That means even if you get the 10 pound buy-it-know it'll be 30 pounds... Eh, not bad I guess overall...

Hehe, I know, but I wanted the first bid so that if there's a bidding battle at the end and both bet the same amount, the earliest bid wins! :sneaky:

YAY! I got first bid on one of the lithographs!!! :dance: VERY handy at the end of the auction!

Wow, Guy and Will have never looked so much like the smilies!!! Chris and Jonny are about to :kiss: Guy is :disappointed: Will is like :wtf:

Where are the 'Talk' drum pics?! :confused:
