Holy Flippers! Vader 1 now $2,000 plus?

[polystoner]

Is this an anomoly?

This is the first time I've seen it over $1,500...

[Mizu]

whoa! I'd like to have on too but for that going rate I could get a good car!

I have one, but i won't sell it even when it's going over $ 5000,=

And i don't know if you must believe this, check out who won the auction, it's very strange? Is this a new policy of eBay or something???

Yes. Ebay is assigning bidder numbers instead of displaying user names to prevent bidders being contacted by others to sell them a similar item. Now this serves two functions: one it prevents EBay from losing sales due to skirting the system and second it prevents uneducated bidders from getting scammed by someon who approaches them (I think that this aspect outweighs the disadvantages of point 1)

Wow, that guy is on a shopping spree!!!! Only in January he has spend more or less 4K!!
It seems that Celebration 4 and the 30 year anniversary might be pumping some prices up!!
I wouldn't sell my Vader 1 unless it is really an emergency.

From ebay: As the internet evolves, eBay continues to strike a balance between preserving transparency and protecting our Community of members. eBay has decided to change how bid history information is displayed so bad guys cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain cases, some bidders will no longer be able to view Bidder User IDs on the Bid History page. Your User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, applied consistently to the Bid History page.

This is what ebay posted. But I like the way UD summerizes it
