yes, very rare to see them at that price. aside from that looks like nice one

What is rare is that you have two people convinced that it is the last RMC handguard left on the planet. In just 9 bids, it went from $13 to over $200. Actually, it may be just one person who is convinced plus a ghost bidder driving up the cost...

Always know the value of what you are bidding on and walk away when it goes past that point....

[DaveHH]

People get on the excitement plan and just go way over the real value. Additionally, you are at the mercy of shills who run up the price because they know you are on the excitement plan. This what happens in the stock market. They release information, create a false sense of value and people bid it up until at some point the people inside unload it and take the money from the people on the outside. Like milking a cow, the bag fills up, you empty it. Anyone who thinks differently about the stock market is very naive.

I just knew if I hung onto these hand guards they'd be worth millions someday!





I just happened to notice these hand guards laying on my bookshelf a couple of days ago and thought this thread was funny.

I'll never understand the eBay mentality, but I have seen that happen several times.
It's as if a couple of guys are going for it trying to show each other how much they can afford to spend -
and how stupid they are!
(Too bad it never happens when I sell something!)

I gave up on eBay a couple of years ago; both buying and selling.

Why is it stupid if they have the money to blow on it? I wouldn't spend $200 plus on a carbine handguard, but ain't it great to live in a free country where folks can do so if they want?

Harlan,

Tell you what, I will give you 85 yen right now for one of those handguards - and I let you pick which one you sell me!

Anyone want to bid 90 yen?

[DaveN]

I'll bid 90yen, make it 100 ok 115, 110(oh that's less ) 120 oh I'm bidding against my self so 125 is final unless myself bids again.

Hey..wait a minute..... yen?

(That's about how well my eBay life went!)

Maybe it’s a mini jukebox incognito.
