It's up over $200 now... nine days to go in the auction, "Reserve Not Yet Met".

C'mon, Steve, what kind of reserve price do you have on it? You can tell me -- I won't tell anybody. ;-) I'll betcha it's at least a thousand dollars, though.

Seriously, you'd probably do better selling it here (on the BBS) than on ebay, although by the time your auction is over on ebay just about everyone here will have gone there. (Hint to empeg wanna-haves: it's auction #179246564, ends 10/20/99 at about 1:49 pm California time.)

I'd bid on it myself, but I want to start out with a larger hard drive...

Good luck with your auction. It'll be interesting to see if the auction price actually goes over the $1199 retail price.

Now at $1125 and climbing like a rocket. Reserve still not met.... I don't know that I've ever seen a price climb so fast on just the second day of a 10-day ebay auction. What'll you bet this thing tops out at over $1500.

It's gone above retail and still no 'reserve price met' in sight.

Geeze.... I didn't tell anyone about it, and look at how many people saw it!

Honestly, part of me doesn't want to sell it. I feel like i'm selling one of my kids. jk. I don't have kids.

The reserve is not met yet because a good friend of mine "made me an offer" and that's where the reserve is set to. It's getting really close though! (Sorry Aron, maybe the reserve won't be met, and i'll sell it to you!) And for the rest of you, don't worry the reserve is only a million dollars. *wink*

Hey, everyone -- Ryan Bennett got the empeg for sale on ebay with a sniper bid at the last minute -- $1550.00.

Congratulations, Ryan -- and especially congratulations to Steve (who masquerades here under the id of CHiP).
