Some drama after the auction.... These are the sellers latest Tweets, sorry about the Engrish...
"Since the highest bidder's evaluation is 2, I asked for "early transaction intention contact" from here immediately after the end of the auction, but since there was no contact even after half a day, the highest bidder was deleted.
The runner-up person became a successful bidder candidate in advance, but if he declines, I think he will relist.
By the way, a famous retro game collector was suspicious, but I swear that it is not a self-made sockpuppet bid.
Even if it is the runner-up who was using the agency, it is a little to use outside the system presented here ...
I hope the agency will continue to work.
I suspected spoofing, but since there was a possibility that he was the person himself, I deleted the previous entry.
For the time being, it would be nice if you could contact us from the transaction navigation.
Even though there is a difference of 1.4 million yen between the runner-up bidder and the third-place bidder, the specifications of Yahoo Auction, where the winning bid is almost the same, makes me feel uncomfortable. So if the runner-up is not convinced and declines, I think it will be relisted."
So he says it might go to the third place bidder, which he says was about 1 million yen below the winning bid so approx 42,000 USD What the heck is going on here!
