That NIB 15C (LE) went for $356
Message #1 Posted by Peter Murphy (Livermore) on 18 Sept 2011, 5:48 p.m.

You remember the story:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/150662671735

We're unlikely to learn the Rest of the Story, however.

Unless some hardy soul wants to contact the seller and ask?

The winner has feedback over 1000. They should know better.

1) Winning bidder is German.

2) Germany bailed out Greece.

3) Stupid world.

How can you determine the Bidder's location?

I can infer it from the winner's bid history, which uses the German language from the German TAS website. It's not certainty, since anyone can bid at any site, however, it's the most likely conclusion.

Bid history

How can you tell how a BIN auction ended? The one you linked to was an auction, so it shows the ultimate price. But I was watching this one, and I can't even tell whether it sold or not.

This was a BIN with Make Offer option. Look over on the right side, it has a link "2 sold".

Look on the right side. It states "2 sold". Click on it and you can see the aliases of the buyers and when they were bought.

      
I also do not agree with this price !
