He could never get a bidding war going because the reserve was too high.  I've always thought that you are better off selling this type of item as a Buy-It-Now if you're going to have a sky-high reserve.

That was one thing with ReDrum's auctions of desirable items.  He almost always started them at .99 with no reserve and he almost always did real well with the amount they sold for. (As a added bonus the listing fee was cheaper because of the low starting price)

I believe my bid was a bit higher than $375 but your reserve was so high that it didn't matter.  Nobody else would bid higher so my bid didn't matter which was my point.  It wasn't that the board wasn't worth what you were asking, it was that you had it listed in such a way that you couldn't get the amount you wanted.  $600 is really getting close to Top Dollar for a TekMagic.  To get that amount you need more than one person wanting it bad at that moment (and the stars must be perfectly aligned).  You didn't have that.  You didn't even have one as my interest in it was as a back-up as I already own one.  I bought mine on EBay probably a little over a year ago and it come in an A2000 with a graphics card, ram card, etc.  It also came with a ton of software, a keyboard and mouse, and  two monitors.  I think I paid around $400 plus shipping.  I saw an A2000 on EBay about a year ago with a WildFire card and I think the guy wanted $600 and it didn't sell.  That having been said I saw a Conceirto sound card sell about a month ago for $315!!  So anything is possible.  That card usually sells for $150 tops.

I hope you get the amount you want for your TekMagic.  I know I like to get top dollar when I sell things.  Everybody does!  I just think that if you want to get $600 for it it would have a better chance of selling for that if you started it at .99, or if you put a buy-it-now price of $600 on it.  Everybody likes to know that when they place a bid that it counts for something.  In a high-reserve auction many bids are meaningless.
