Post Ojo Custom
Was this one of the customs sold at the Tentacles, Horns and Scales Show @ Thrashout?

Probably my favorite Martin custom to date. I'll be interested to see if/where it hammers out (especially with the 25% buyers premium - Ouch!).

Nope. It was specifically painted up for the auction.
It is indeed a nice one.

Maybe this thread will help the auction house generate a large buyer's premium and boost sales on this and its other auctions.

Free advertising and whatnot. That 25% buyer's premium is hefty, you should request a cut Freebase...

Wait until the auction ends and see how much it is, plus the 25% fee on top off the closing price.

No kidding!

What is the 25% fee for? Are you able to bid on the auction from the site?

I think if you read the description of that auction it says in there about the buyers premium.

Certain auctions tend to slip in a buyer's premium in the fine print.

The one on these toys is 25% so tack on an additional 25% to the total of your winning bid and that's the premium added to the purchase.

The Ojo's not priced excessively but always try to avoid any auctions which hit me for buyer's premiums.
