BTW...I don't get this thread. Why are we paying so much for crayons again?

So do we know if butt boy is even aware of all of this bidding?

Is there any way to assure that he sees the battle at the end?

So this auction is up to $235.71... who here really wants to pay 1/3 of the cost? Since I don't want to try and figure it out, can someone tell me if any of the bidders aren't otters?

i was under the impression that it'd be 1/3 of the eBay insertion/end of auction fee....

You mean it's not?!? Man, am i glad i stopped bidding... $200+ for a box of 80 crayons is radiculously high, esp. since the auction doesn't specify whether or not the box has the crayon sharpener in the back...

yes.. its 1/3 of the ebay fees
the ebay fees are probably under $10 total right now
so 1/3 of that is still pretty reasonable

some current stats:
97 bids
$235.71
3 hours 14 minutes remaining

Ill figure out the fees in a minute

insertion fee
$0.01 - $9.99 = $0.30
Buy It Now = $0.05
$0 - $25 5.25% of the closing value
$25 - $1,000 5.25% of the initial $25 ($1.31),
plus 2.75% of the remaining closing value balance ($25.01 to $1,000)

235.71 = 1.31 + 5.79 = $7.10 total fees

so $7.10 + .35 = 7.45 / 3 = $2.48 each for the high bidders


this is if my math is correct and I didnt miss anything?

of course.. the top 3 bidders at the end will split the ebay fees (currently about 2.50 each).. but only the top bidder will have get the great feedback left under their name, and have this auction forever tied to their ebay account..
so maybe we will see a minor bidding war at the end, for whoever thinks its worth a few more nickels to be in the top spot and get the feedback

Whoever wins, make sure to leave in the seller feedback that it was shipped in a secured, padded crate or something in case your curious Nike guy is still curious after the sale.
