Bid or Sell Daltanius?

[bonecow]

Hello. I've got a Daltanius that is in excellent condition with just some minor wear on the legs (Silver Paint) of the Atlaus Robot. The Valerios and Gunper are in mint condition. The only parts missing are one of four of Atlaus' hands and some missles (ll of 15 missing to be exact). The box is in good condition. Only the plastic molding is missing from the package that keeps the accessories in place. I have someone offering to buy it for $300 - $350 for this item which is on auction at E-Bay.

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=19198&item=5953840885&rd=1

Would I be a nut to take it off the auction block? Should I keep it on? Can I take it off, if I want? There are about 7 days left. The last thing I want to do is pass up a good deal either way. I sure as hell don't want to step on anybody's toes (those that are bidding). I just want to make the right decision. Oh well, I really am a newbie at this. So, any advice will help.

Thank You!

it's not mint, missing some blisters (I think) and some parts... I would sell it for 350...

Sounds like a good deal for you, however, you may want to check Ebay's rules about ending the auction early because of an offer. I think they frown on those things but check it out, I'm not sure what the ramifications are. Good luck selling.

Thanks for the responses. Ending a bid (It's up to about $152 w/ 7 days still left) just doesn't sit well with me. I'm sure I'll get what it's worth.

From Ebay's Help (I don't know how much they really follow through with this):

Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated.

I know, but ending auction in the first or second day of an auction (it happened to me a few times last days, but not for selling out of ebay) I think is not a bad thing. Ebay's rules are much strong with the retire of a bid

I'd say just keep the big going...if you keep it going, you might get it up to 300 (maybe). Also, you get the added "warm and fuzzy" feeling that comes with doing the right thing ;D

Heh heh, once upon a million years ago I had that lion...favorite toy I had...

[bonecow]

LOL. Come on Fugly. Why don't you jump in and get that sucker up to $550? ;D

lucabbart: Selling it is still really really tempting.
