Seems logical for me...or not...

I could have bought one hoodie when they were on sale but i didn't. I could have put it on eBay for a huge amount of money, but i didn't too.
Why ?
Because i hope a true fan and collector of Fallout clothing got the opportunity of adding this item to his collection for the fair initial price.
I must be too kind or too stupid.

Ok first off, i knew no one was going to pay or even come close to that amount that is why i set it so high. It isnt abusive pricing. But just because i put the hoodie on ebay doesnt make me a true collector like the rest of you. I am a big collector an i bought it at the initial price. Mind you i have bought the previous vault t-shirts, lithographs, and the regular t shirts. So if i listed it at .99 and it sold for 280 would you still be all on my case? It is how the hobby goes. If you want to continue, then go ahead. It really doesn't bother me, but i said what i want and there is nothing really more to it. Hope to see more hoodies show up on this site.

So you put your hoodie on eBay hoping the high price would not appeal to sellers and nobody would buy it ?
I don't know if you really know what you are doing but this is a strange behavior.

If you feel bad doing this, it's normal, it's named culpability. You have been caught with your pants down.

Edit : Seing the first listing on eBay with a $1.500 price : "This listing was ended by the seller because there was an error in the listing." Oh, sweet irony...

Ended it early because didnt make sense having two listings up

Well your looking at the owner of that Gary -11 hoodie. First off I put the high bin because I'm not ready to sell it as I am a huge fallout collector just like the rest of you. I just want to test the field on it. It's not like I'm excepting to get $1500 for it, it's just like the lithographs $40 sells for $150 if the demand is there then the people will pay to get what they want so why should the sellers of rare items be faulted? Again just my opinion on it. If I do end up selling it then it will go to someone who I know will probably at it to ther collection jus like I planned with mine. Btw I know the person who bought the $250 one he is a huggee collector.

Let me get this straight you put a high buy it now as, this morning, you didn't want to sell it but just wanted to "test the field" seeing as you're a "huge fallout collector". This afternoon you close the listing and start it again at $350 start price as an auction, a price which it will probably sell for. I guess the definition of huge collector has changed seeing as it now means buy something and flip it for 4 times the value a few days later.

If you want to do this then that's your prerogative and regardless of what I or anybody else thinks you can do as you please. But why try and justify it by coming onto a collectors forum and talking crap?

Im not trying to come on here to talk crap to anyone, i joined for two reasons. One there isnt many fallout collectors pages out there that i for one know about. When i stumbled on here an saw some of the feedback i was getting for my auction i thought i would just put my opinion for everyone, no way shape or form am i trying to talk crap or anything. I put it at the price i did because the way i feel about it is if someone is willing to pay that much then i would rather sell it than to keep it stored away in my room. I dont need to have every item to have fun in the hobby and there are plenty of people who flip rare fallout items on ebay. So basically i just wanted to state my opinion on the subject and meet other fans of the game an collecting aspect of fallout. Sorry if i caused a conflict on the forum had no intentions of causing any problems.
