Pure theory on castle auction ...

I put up five castle (which is a hot item by itself on e-bay) figures for
auction.  Here is the link for reference:

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=265861777

The item has a wolfpack torso, a brown cowl, a skeleton, some body armor, a
forestman torso, a pointed hat, a classic Vader black helmet as well as a
Royal Knight's torso ...

The opening bid for it is $4.95 - which is right at $.99 per figure ...

I've had over 100 hits but no bids (which I don't mind ... as you can
probably tell, this is more of a plug than anything).  Any idea why there are no
bids on this?  If I just took a picture of it (no lengthy explanation,
etc...), would there be bids?

Again - if there are NO bids when the auction is over (which I don't see
happening) I will be happy to have gotten a $.50 ten day add for CW on e-bay
...

Thoughts?

P.S. - on the other hand, the train had two bids in 10 minutes.  Different
approach though ...

(...) Pawel, The intention of creating .market.theory was not to have yet another forum for making auction flogs/plugs, but rather to have in-depth discussions and (even more so) meta-discussions about auctions and other marketplace stuff. --Todd (25 years ago, 23-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

Pawel, after looking at the group of figs you have up there, it may be that although it's a great ad for Castle World, actual bidders may not be all that interested in your non-standard figs just because they are non-standard. I should think most (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

(...) OK, just to go to the other part of this thread for a moment...I kinda thought this was plugging the auction, especially since it's still going on. Had the auction ended, I don't think there would have been any problem. Another idea would be (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)

Hi Pawel, I want to comment on your post for a few reasons. Other people already mentioned that this auction post is not in the right place, or is worded poorly. When I read this post I immediately understood what you were talking about, especially (...) (25 years ago, 29-Feb-00, to lugnet.market.theory)
