Ah yes...

As someone else said, I can see the first one being an honest mistake. This one, not so much.

Also, isn't there someone else out there that's driving these up that high? I can't imagine more than one person is willing to spend that kinda money. Are there YJA shill bidders? There's gotta be!


Both $6000 Bemon auctions were won with BIN bids...

Honestly there cant be any mistakes. You HAVE to enter the total amount. So you would have to enter 600,000 then your password. So you know exactly what your paying and then you have to confirm it on the second page.

I cant understand how anyone could have made a mistake ??

Let's see how long it takes for the next 6000 Bemon to show up on yja. As long as there are suckers out there they'll keep 'em coming.

This shit's hilarious.

Shit if this keeps up all the attention will go to Bemons and RxH will be old news !

And I don't think logang made a mistake. He isn't that stupid. He is just crazy enough to spend 6000 dollars on a toy.


Wouldn't spending $6600.00 on a fairly new toy be considered stupid if it was done on purpose? Just sayin'. . .

That mistake was just made last week by another member.

If it can prevent a THIRD person from spending over $6000 on a single Bemon, then it's worth the extra brain power required...

First time it happened, I could believe it was a decimal error... the second time... not so much... :roll:


Thanks Locomoco, I was trying to be subtle, white gloves, sensitive topic.

This has to fark up the Bemon market and the toy market in general cause it reinforces and validates the last auction.

Very possibly, and pardon me if this is stating the obvious, but I don't believe those with more money than sense give a damn. ;-)

Well I'd pay $6600 for this much attention and a Bemon... actually no I wouldn't.

YES, I am crazy enuff to spend that kinda coin on a toy (anyone got a minty boxed Red Baron jumbo machinder?), but this was indeed a mistake. In my frenzy to end the auction by BIN at 60,000 yen I bid erroneously at 600K yen. Yes, total idiot.

And NO, I do not use Celga.

LASH no offense as I know you're a swell guy, but I've seen your spelling - you really can't understand how this could happen when you make spelling errors on your own headers?

I fucked up the Bemon market with my split-second-too-quick decimal error, and my Celga account along with it. It was like 4am, I was browsing through a haze, and jumped too quick...which is understandable considering the reaction some of us get when seeing one of the original 30 GID Bemons for sale. To think that this has never happened before would be a bit ignorant really, and aside from my own stupidity for not thinking straight, the seller can fuck off for listing it at $6000.

So there you have it, a decimal error was made. Now all you fuckers have to pay 6 grand if you want an original GID Bemon. Which you won't. And neither will I. And possibly not Logang either.

I find it VERY hard to believe that this happened two times in the span of about a week.

Sorry, something just doesn't seem right.

Not me. But I know the URL of a 250,000 yen Matango if any high roller is interested...
