Lesson learned; Max bid on eBay

[Jantz]

I just had a similar situation happen to me, but a different seller.

Its amusing how some Ebay buyers run up a price, then back out.

Within an hour the seller sent me a Second Chance Offer, which I refused and informed him to relist the item.

One week later and no relisting. Imagine that

I'd ask the seller to cancel my bid as I'd have no interest in bidding in an obviously shilled auction. Just another thought.

Update to my first post (#11)

The seller now messaged me thru Ebay and informed me that he wants to make a deal outside of Ebay.

This just keeps getting better.

BTW, Hope it works out for you Dan.

Dan,

Just a heads up. Here is a previous Net54 post on the seller:

Enter Scumbag.

Song they should track behind all of their listings.

Sorry that happened but not surprised. eBay is shill heaven now and not using a sniper program is as good as asking for it, especially with the consignment sellers.

Guys, this auction was not shilled. I'm pretty sure this is the item in question...

If you look at the bidding history, the guy that Dan was bidding against originally bid before Dan bid. Besides, a shiller could have ran it up even more.
