saying you won't bid in a thread.....or.....

Hey Folks,
I want to start a quick thread on what Hal and Jay made a point about in the BL460 thread. I had a similar issue not long ago and want to get something out in the open. I have heard from a few sources, that when the 4 N167's were on ebay, and at first I thought they were not good, and posted as such, that it was some grand scheme I had to get folks to not bid on them. Right. I am going to be able to say something that makes folks that want a card I am looking at not bid on it. If anyone thinks it was a scheme they are just plain wrong. I thought they weren't good at first, still didn't think they were good a short time later, and posted as such. Then I saw people like Andy B, and a few others weigh in, and I changed my mind. Since I had posted the opposite twice, and then went on to say, that with a money back guarantee, and a perfect, highly rated seller, there would be no liability AND I still needed one, it would be easier to just delete what I said. However, after I posted about it twice I should have posted again saying that I changed my mind and DID in fact think they were good. (which they obviously were). I heard squawk again yesterday about it, not from anyone directly, but more behind my back...about my so called scheme. Bullcrap. I only wish I could say something to get folks not to bid. For the record the underbidder, and someone that had major ebay issues and would have won it otherwise, didn't fall for my scheme.....So, Hal, you are correct in saying publicly that you might bid after you say you won't. Otherwise people will be squawking crap again. I would like to hear from anyone that didn't bid on the N167's because of what I said on the board. I am just tired of hearing the sh**. best regards
