Pristine Auctions - question

[Jgrace]

I think it is a poor model for an auction. It frustrates and confused buyers, and can’t be good for consigners either. However, I don’t fundamentally have an issue with it because it is clearly spelled out in their rules.

If their actions were inconsistent with their rules, that would be another story.

This is what happened to me:

I bid on 3 items. They were from the Wednesday weekly auctions. (States in the rules that some have reserves, some don't). When the auctions ended it stated the high bid price with the 17% commission price, along with the final price, and that the auctions ended. A little while later I get second chance offers for the high bid price. I decline because I felt the auctions were being shill bidded.

This next day they relist the same auctions again. They claim the reserve prices weren't met. How can that be when it showed the final pricing and second chance offers were made for lower than what the reserve was? You can't talk to them on the phone anymore, and chatting gets you nowhere also. I'm done with these people!
