Just saw an ad for this on the TV.
Has anyone seen or played this?
It says that if you outbid everyone you win.
Do you have to pay FVF fees to the other players. What if you win the game and then become a deadbeat, do you really lose the game?

If you are playing with one other person and you both bid and your partner outbids you and wins the game....but then deadbeats
...so you win....but also deadbeat....Does this mean that you are both losers? Why play a game that proves you're a loser?

Personally, I think this whole idea of making ebay into some board game is truly idiotic.

Turn ebay into a game and people will think that Ebay really is a game....bid and bid and never pay....because its only a game.

GO directly to JAIL & don't collect FVF!

Oh no! System crash! Lose 10 turns and all your money. Billpoint chargeback, eBay freeze on your account. And of course the game company sends you new rules to play by every other week!

With the current lack of buyers, perhaps it should be the New Ebay BORED Game.

do you really lose the game?

If it follows real life, all small sellers lose...

The game is over when eBay takes all the money. 'Wonder if they include a special promotional "penalty?"

Well, we know where the "Community Chest" money is going. OR think we do.

Want to take bets that "the banker" is Billpoint??

Has anyone checked to see if the new game is up for sale on eBay.....maybe a couple hundred on AFA?????

Nah....never mind....that would cut into the slice of royalties off this game I am sure Meg has!
