I don't care how they spend their money, I just thought it was good for a
laugh. I guess anal people like yourself would not see the humor in it. So I guess I have a problem with anal people. "W4UDX" wrote in message ... Check out this insane bidding! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...keTra ck=true |

Inexperienced bidders who don't know what things are worth, and bidding wars between people who desperately have to have an item, tend to raise the overall market value of an item more than it should be. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Well it was interesting and good for a chuckle -- 29 bids on a SB-104A for
$1000 + But DXace has a point -- you can ask whatever you want - on e-bay and hamfests If someone wants it they will pay "insane" prices -- so what ?? Think its called free enterprise -- hooray fer that. At the next Hamfest when a guy quotes e-bay prices -- reply we ain't on e-bay I disagree with "it will inflate the prices" Smart sellers and buyers know better Or should "Inexperienced bidders" are just that -- ebay not withstanding The thing about e-bay is it is world wide -- thousands of potential bidders and some one who has coveted an item for years will come rising up out the woodwork Remember -- money is no object with some bidders in an auction, have never seen that at a hamfest - generally it is a very poor place to sell things. I offered a rare ham book at a hamfest for $25 -- guy sed I'll give you 5 -- I replied which Chapter do you want (;-) Sold on e-bay for $28 Case Closed -- LC "Scott Dorsey" wrote in message ...

I wonder if gbp333(9) feels stoopid or happy (or both) right about now? -Bill That auction was very interesting, as I had never watched a bid retraction in the bid history before. True, the bidding was up over $1000, and k7hbc was still top bidder. Once he retracted his bid, the auction toppled down to gbp333's last bid over somebody else, at a bit over $100. Interestingly, the history of the bidding between those events just disappears from eBay! I don't have much sympathy for either bidder. k7hbc took over 3 days to figure out he "made a mistake" and retract his bid. He's damn lucky the seller is letting him, since eBay TOS says a retraction based on a mistake must be done quite rapidly. At minimum, he owes the seller a public apology for creating a situation where many thought this was a fraudulent auction. I think that if it takes you three days to figure out that you bid $10,000 instead of $100, you shouldn't be allowed to turn on a transmitter. The other bidder may get his radio, since everyone now knows he was once willing to go to $1000 for it! Why bother to bid against him, unless you really, really HAVE to have it. Who knows? But one interesting thing is that gpb333 has been on eBay for about 20 months, but he hasn't bothered to reciprocate feedback for almost 18 months. Those kind of guys **** me off. Ed wb6wsn |

Those kind of guys **** me off. I haven't decided which is worse, guys that don't give feedback, or sellers that wait to see what you give them before they give you feedback. I recently bought an item, and the seller took 3 weeks to ship my item. He came up with a cockeyed story about how paypal didn't notify him that I had paid. (I paid the morning after the sale) The item was described as complete, but it arrived poorly packed, and missing a major component. 1 day short of a month from the end of auction until the item was in my hand. The seller echoed my feedback, so I got what I gave him.... Yet as a buyer, I did everything in a most proper way. Now my feedback says I am a late shipper, even though I was a buyer! The feedback system is seriously flawed. Each party shouldn't be able to tell what the other party writes about them until everything is totally done. -Chuck Harris |
