Retracted a .99 cent bid?? WTF?!?!?!

[bobbyw8469]

Had a bidder retract a .99 cent bid and used 'entered wrong amount' as an excuse (the opening bid was .99 cent)....how much did you mean to enter????? SMDH

Thats funny, did he bid again..


by they way i dont think all bid retractions are equal. Like that one i wouldnt care about if he was bidding on one of my auctions

Plus, if you do 'make an offer'. theres usually a 2 or 3 day wait period for the seller to reject or counter....for example if you win a card in an auction the next day so no longer want the card where did a 'make an offer' and the seller still hasnt responded in 24 hours in this example i see no problem with that person retracting their offer..

i think that retraction in the above example also counts towards the number of 'bids retracted'

it did...he's at 34 for the year. He retracted the .99 cent opener. No, he did not rebid.

He's racking them up on purpose then....and some people still seem to believe that's not a thing.

Always the possibility he bids again near the end so other bidders can see he's already had a retraction in this auction and scares other bidders away.

Is it a cheaper item, or possibly a more expensive item in the end?

No...its a crappy Roger Clemens rookie card in an SGC 5. It cost more to get graded than what the auction will bring.

Hmmm, probably just racking them up for later use then. Bidding on items nobody cares about. Similar to our guy who bids and retracts on Ice Cream collectibles.
