David SmithTo me, just one more example of HOW eBay management is STUPID!!!!
I mean, you guys have more experience in T206 cards than I do and have deemed this card legit. You guys have more money than I do but have said you would have either REALLY questioned this auction or NOT bid at all and that was ONLY because it was a Private Auction.
Ebay NEEDS to get their collective heads OUT of their rearends and make it so that sellers can NOT have Private Auctions.
I would be REALLY upset if I owned this card and had just sold it and then started reading on this forum that people were willing and able to pay MORE fo it but were scared off by the Private Auction. That is expecially so in these economic times.
So, just because eBay allows Private Auctions, they might have just cost the owner of this Magie some money and themselves some more fee related income.
That would suck to be the owner and it would suck to be an eBay shareholder.
Just my opinion,
David
Edited to add;
Not to mention that Private Auctions are ripe for shill bidding, which is why some people are leery to bid on these types of auctions to begin with.
