rpvee 805 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 39 minutes ago, A. A. Ron said: Even if the link hadn't been shared here and elsewhere, I'm sure plenty of people have eBay notifications enabled for saved searches like "BFG FYC," "BFC consideration," "BFG promo," etc. I certainly do. 26 minutes ago, Dr. Rick said: I seriously doubt that is the reason the bidding has gone up. Like @A. A. Ron said above, people often have push notifications for eBay / marketplace / CL. Unless you have evidence I’d say it’s bad form to place the blame on people here on the board. Well, it had been up for at least a couple days with only two bids, and now it has over 30 bids and tons of watchers after the link was posted here today. 🤷🏻♂️ enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rick 1,157 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 That’s typically how auctions go, has nothing do with sharing the link to it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. A. Ron 1,742 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Also there’s only like 5 bidders. There’s only a huge number of bids because the bidders are bad at guessing how high their opponents have already gone. enderdrag64 and Brando 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,352 Posted January 1 Author Share Posted January 1 That ebay copy sold for $760, due to somebody bidding $750 in the last few seconds but a higher bid already being in place BTW nobody copied the pics from the listing in the thread, so here they are since they'll eventually get wiped from ebay's servers aescalle and enderdrag64 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid over $400 for The Incredibles cast and crew disc several years ago, but I just ripped it and immediately sold it again. Believe it or not, I even made a slight profit! And then pissed off the traders by immediately sharing it in FLAC. 😂 Why they cared so much when it was already available in 320 kbps mp3 is anyone’s guess.

Jay 37,352 Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Yeah if you don't care about owning the physical discs, buying and reselling rare FYCs like this is a solid plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alawill75 39 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Just out of curiosity: I assume the Academy members are not allowed to sell such FYC content. Is it legitimate to sell the estate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mark 3,631 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I mean they own the disk why couldn't they sell it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 9,525 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Well the back says it may not be transferred to any third party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,686 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Well, if you take the bottom of the back cover at face value, it's Disney's property, they're loaning it to you as a member, you're not allowed to give or sell it to anyone else and Disney can ask for it back at any time. Of course, back in the real world... I think I've got a FYC copy of RotK somewhere, and I considered buying the Brave FYC before deciding that having it in flac was sufficient.
