I don't know why I actually use a signature, I've never been that keen on them  Undecided

I'm also a clogs for using "e" instead of "i" in the thread title  Roll Eyes

251,00 (!) Euro and still 2 days to go Cheesy
Now I have to say hello to my LAPC and promise to put it never on Ebay (well ermm... perhaps one day? No!) Cheesy


It sucks doesn't it. I went up as high as 250 euros (which is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY more than I really would like to pay but I thought let's give it a go) but it's just no use. For this money I will just be glad with the 'hassle' of external boxes and cables as they can also do the trick.

In fact i *DO* feel a littlebit guilty but eventually that price would've gone this far and I was willing to pay a one-time 250 euros for that card but not a cent more. I think I better try to check all the local auctions and/or 2nd hand stores and who knows I find something there. After all I've got an MT-32 with original adapter, 4*4 midisport USB, 1*1 midisport USB, HipHip JV expansionboard, and an M-Audio Delta44 soundcard all together for 30 euros not long ago from such a place.

 Shocked

The bid history looks strange "Bidder 1, Bidder 2", etc. Are the real names sort of hidden?

Wow, maybe it's time to sell mine then...  Roll Eyes

I don't have the original boxes and manual, but I could still probably get 150-160 for it...

Well, you know how it is, these auctions have the habit of more and more bids getting in in the last minutes of the auction, so the price could still go up considerably.

Yup.

I was watching an auction for a CM-500 yesterday and I made a winning bid 30 seconds before it closed. It was CHF 41,50
In the next 20 seconds nothing much happened and then in the last ten the price shot up to around 150.  Cheesy

Oh, I'm not to bad at sniping, I just didn't want to pay more, I could've had it easy, but I had to pay more.
