69 Firebirdman. You fail to see the point.
It's an auction. period. An Auction. You put something up for sale and take your chances.
One more time for the hearing impaired. It's an auction....... not a store, not a warehouse, not a wholesaler.
I take it your inform the
"IRS" of your profits and losses, right? You seem to be trying to run it as a business, As your so worried about what you're going to make?
You place something for sale. If you don't want to take the chance of not getting what you want. then don't place it for sale on E-BAY. Or Put it in the "For Sale" forums on the Internet. Or put a reserve on it and figure it into the equasion.
If someone is so worried that they wont't get what they "think" they can get on e-bay, then I feel sorry for that person. So worried that they might miss that extra buck that could be made on E-bay that they won't sell it outright anywhere else.
If your so worried about what E-bay is making then open your own auction site.
Who the freak cares what e-bay makes. I only worry about what I make.
But I guess if things are that tough for ya dude. there's always Welfare.
Sorry, but when I bid on something and sometimes pay a little more then what I wanted too, I take my chances that your buddy isn't jacking up the price so it can sell at a higher price too.
And
What you think it's worth doesn't necessarily mean that's what it's worth to the public either.
Takes two to do a deal. I just want the chance to bid.
Watch my lips.......... it's an Auction.
Funny, how E-bay will let a seller pull his product at any time, but if a bidder pulls his bid, after so many he's banned.
A one way street.
The reason I posted this was it wasn't one item I was bidding on. It was three that he pulled because I was getting a good deal. But who knows what another person in the last hour or even minutes might have run the final price up. That didn't even get a chance to happen.
But getting 3 e-mails from e-bay saying the items were pulled and from the same seller. Is bogus dude. i even went back and looked at other Non pontiac items and some of them were pulled as well wayyyyyyyy below what they are normally going for or at current pricing.
Ya ever look the the reasons seller can pull an item compared to what options a buyer has on E-bay?
Sorry Dude, but right's right and wrong's wrong. I feel very strong about one way streets.
One more point;
I had a set of big car rally rims for sale and sold for $50.00
Got 14 e-mails on wanting them. I could have just told people that the one with the best offer got them. But I priced them and the first e-mail got them. He even told me that they go for $150.00 before he bought them.
But I still sold them for $50.00
Would you have done that?
