I saw him. I wonder how much he’ll go for. Nice starting price. 😛
No one even bid against me….weird…not complaining but weird.
Considering Im the current keeper of everyone’s Wish List (those that posted it), the wht scratcher is on 95% of the list! I was blown away that no one bid against Keschete for that and she got it for the opening price. I thought for sure it would be a blood bath. Great for Keschete but you guys surprise me!
But everyone HERE must have known it would have gotten up to that so like that seller, Id have done the same thing. Scaring off regular eBayers I can understand tho
The white scratcher doesn’t seem to do well on Ebay. Right now, not many people have money. I purchased mine during the holidays last year, and expected it to go to at least $250, but got it for $180 or so. (There were a lot of rare/retired pieces being offered at the time.)
Well congrats Keschete! I know it may seem weird, but it was probably just meant to be! 😀
PT – A lot of people may want the white scratcher, but maybe not all are willing to pay a higher price for it. Just a thought. 😕
If Cai hadn’t gotten hers from Cheryl, we would have been bidding. But, she has hers and cuddles it daily. 😉

My art: featherdust.comI think a big part of what determines the price is if they ship worldwide. I did a study on Windstones and found that pieces sell for about 30% more when the seller is willing to ship worldwide. It is bad enough when you want a rare piece, worse when the sellers won’t ship to you and so when the piece shows up with worldwide shipping – international buyers bid higher to get it.
When I was looking for my scratcher, there were a few on ebay, but none would ship to me in Canada. I was willing to outbid the high bidder, but they just won’t ship. 🙁

What’s weird is that the listing says there were two bids, but both of them were you, at different times, but with the exact same amount.
I initially just bid $200 and then I started to worry someone would snipe me and bid $300 because that was the max I was willing to go to…and it turns out I didn’t need to be worried….
But the last flap cat someone outbid me by 5 bucks….at the last minute…..
Just to let everyone know, the seller actually went to SParks website and read the packing tutorial…and agreed to ship as I asked….the seller seemed very accomodating!
