Jay Thomas had a good time with you today talking about the ball. The Canadian caller had me cracking up.
Up to $3100 now. I can see behind the scenes a TON more people are watching the listing. I think it will be a bidding war in the very end.
$4,000 and climbing! The Sky is the limit, Mr. Taylor.
I wonder how many tire kicker.... um hummm... I mean watchers you have now.....

Getting nervous since no new bids since monday. Grrrr. I go from being really optimistic on these balls to worried.
I'm worried for you too...if you're now worried. I was fine when you were fine. I really wished you had set a reserve.
I'm most likely overthinking it. It's just hard to tell. There are currently 216 watchers on the Balls, which is a ton. I figure there are about 20-50 people actively interested in buying them. I just have no clue what their glass ceiling is for bids. Very confident about getting $8k but hard to tell above that. And this has had way more bids than the original auction that went to Gary's charity.I'm worried for you too...if you're now worried. I was fine when you were fine. I really wished you had set a reserve.
You could also just bid on it yourself and pay the fee for having the auction in the first place if you don't like the price it's settling at. Heck, you SHOULD create a sock puppet just to bump the price up, just use a different IP address.
I'm kidding of course. Yeah...definitely kidding...not saying that seriously...nope.

Just think... 216 people are going to get reminder emails when the balls hit certain time marks. I hope you can get $8K, but man...............
You are gonna take a huge hit on the chin at that price. I am still hoping a bidding war ensues within the next 14 hours. I second the reserve price notion that was mentioned a few posts up.
We talked about doing a reserve price, and I would have set this to be $8,000. But I learned when you set a reserve you actually get fewer bids and less $ for the item. But you do have insurance in a way. But with all the promotion we have done it would be odd if we set a reserve price and it wasn't met. Like I'd have to call H100 news and others and say, oh hey the ball is for sale again. And again. It looks bad.
The better alternative would have been we just listed the balls on our website for say $25,000 and someone could contact us if they were interested. Problem with that is there is no buzz and we might sit on our BALLS for a year or two.

No matter what you prove you are a jerk in most of your posts. Way to kick me when I'm down.
Welp, kicking you while you were down wasn't my intention, for what it's worth. I thought I was being pretty realistic with my auction estimate.
You took a BIG gamble and lost. Don't blame me.
