peter ullmani can add a little insight to the situation tbob...but not the whole story. let me 1st say I've never asked anyone to end an auction early becaus65e I am against it...so here goes.
I too was watching those ecards and some of the obaks. i was getting ready to leave town wed night and I was very interested in the e99,and 2 e100's. i emailed the seller who frequents this board and asked him if he'd consider ending the auctions early for me cuz i was leaving town and would not have access to a computer. i offered $650 for the 3 cards which I thought was very fair. seller said he'd think about it and email me in the morning. he never did, but i saw the auctions were closed so i thought i'd be ok. 3 days later seller emailed me saying he'd sold them for substantially higher than my offer was. i wss pissed at the lack of communication from the seller.
when i made my offer the total of the 3 cards was @$100. i aplogized to the seller when i made the offer for asking him to end the auction early as i've never done it and hate it when others do it.
i apologize if i angered anyone...i am very ethical and moral in general and this is probably why my collecti0on is average...i don't go for the jugular like many on this board do!
