Private Auction

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I just placed my first bid ever in a private auction and I actually won. The name of the seller sounded familiar from SCD, and the price was too good to pass up, so I thought I'd take a chance. I'll let you know how it works out. Please wish me luck.<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2777657815&category=31722&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2777657815&category=31722&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1</a>

He doesn't do much in the way of cards; he's more of a memorabilia guy.<BR><BR>I don't recall him doing private auctions before either, but I seriously doubt you'll have any issues with this transaction.

Posted By: <b>Todd</b><p>I bid on my first private auction, also from the same seller--alas, I did not win, as the final price was pretty healthy (considering I won the Kaat for $90 a couple of years ago):<BR><BR><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2777655016&category=2929&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBDW%3AIT&rd=1" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2777655016&category=2929&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBDW%3AIT&rd=1</a><BR><BR>I too wondered why the auction was private, but knew the seller's reputation to be solid.
