Sorry FalconFly dude!
I didn't mean any harm by my comment as it was meant to be a bit of fun! It wasn't even meant to be a joke to, or about anyone! I do apologise if I caused any offence as this was totally unintentional!
If anything, it was merely a point to others that they may as well not even bother bidding as we all know you and Patience have the cash to buy anything your heart desires. It's hard to go unnoticed, after the infamous collections you have bought in the past, and how much you have paid for them, to know that people cannot compete with that kind of funding.
I obviously did not see the consequences my post would have on your strategic way of bidding.
However, I will say that, it's not hard for people to know what cards you have, and what you DON'T have (e.g the 3dfx collection thread we regularly update with our collections).
It just takes a little strategic thinking to think that someone may go after that card, because they don't have it. Therefore that person would already be prepared and know who may have a bid on it, regardless of whether my post existed or not.
IMHO, and what I am trying to say is, I think many experienced 3dfx ebayers, who have known you (and your collection) for a while, would have probably known you may have a bid on this card, even without me saying so in my post.
Once again, I am sorry if this screwed up your interest on this item, and many apologies for any inconvenience caused. It was unintentional and I meant no harm!
And @Hammer & Everyone Else - You are all blowing this WAY out of proportion!!!
This had no "devisive, competitive, jealous-like" meaning behind it WHATSOEVER! What have I got to be jealous of?? I already own this card!
This has nothing to do with what my post said in any way. So, Hammer, I suggest you hold fire with your posts before you have heard both sides of the story. Just a word of advice for in the future.
I mean, if you are going to take it like this, and flame everyone to relating to your ebay bidding history, there are many other users that should feel your anger also.
Example:
http://www.falconfly-central.de/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=general;action=displa...Does this mean Chosen_One should be flamed, just because he related to FalconFly's biddding past, in that he bidded $1 more over a T-Shirt?
Come on guys, honestly, I never say anything to rub anyone the wrong way (except ONE user, when he starts something off!) and never have in the past, so why would I? Seriously, you're going about this the wrong way!
Anyway! What does it matter!?!? Gary bought the item in the end anyway (should I be mentioning this, or am I gonna get burned for this also?
) So I'm sure he'll be doing a deal with you, FalconFly, and that you can buy it off of him (seeing as he already has one in his collection!
)! Maybe that's why he bought it! Ask him!
