Patrick Ray Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Never thought I'd see the day when a Clamshell sells for over $1200! And it was repainted poorly. The paint is falling off. Takes 2 people to drive a price this high. And even the third person bailed out at $399.50! 1 Quote
Louis Luu Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Been there, done that in my early days of fan collecting. Hope there is a cure for the clams. Quote
Lawrence Smith Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 doubt that it was a legit sale, 0 feedback winning bid is always questionable especially on these type of bidding wars. Ebay used to be fun many years ago ,not so much anymore Quote
Anthony Lindsey Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 says there were 67 bids. Hard to fake that many bids. Quote
Michael Rathberger Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I saw a Polar Cub sell for $900.00 several years ago, legit sale too, knew the seller. I don't know why people are ever surprised by stupidity, without it there'd be no facebook. 1 1 Quote
Steve Butler Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 I certainly hope that clam has a giant pearl inside! That’s more money than I spent on a tab base Staghorn for crying out loud. 1 Quote

Trevor Andersen Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I've got this one with original paint I'll sell for 50% less because it has the wrong cage and badge. 😆 Edited January 24, 2022 by Trevor Andersen Quote
Terry Fisher Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 Way too many clams for that clam shell. 👀 It will be interesting to see if it is relisted. Quote
Patrick Ray Posted January 25, 2022 Author Posted January 25, 2022 I've had 2 Clamshells and don't think I've spent more than $80 on one. The one I have has beautiful original Japan. I repainted the blades and cage. The other I got for $60 and that one became Alex Rushing's Glam Clam. Bet Alex's is worth $3k if that other was $1200 . Quote
Louis Luu Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Clam is back up for sale. https://www.ebay.com/itm/203808634194?hash=item2f73f0f552:g:mzwAAOSwleph30yV Quote
Patrick Ray Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Do I smell sketchy bidding the first time? Quote

Patrick Ray Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Think that custom Cake on eBay was the same situation. Quote
Alec Burns Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 The way that paint is flaking off looks like powder coat Quote
