Beautiful A's Pennant

Did it kick of with that $800 bin Brock, or was it switched after the deal?

That is a real peach.

Pulled the ole' switcharoo. Started as an auction opening at $99, no reserve if I remember correctly, and ended within a matter of hours at $800.

. . . if consideration (payment sent and accepted) is made, hasn't a binding and enforcable deal been made (whether item has shipped or not is irrelevent)?

I'm not the buyer either, and have lost out on a much needed autograph due to auction ending early, but I'd be a tad upset if I had made payment at an agree upon price, only to have the seller reconsider after accepting payment. Wouldn't you be miffed if the seller pulled that on you?

Just my position.

Vincent,
Sure I would, especially if I had pulled a mild heist - but I would get over it. BTW your scenario has happened to me (more than once), that's why I hate sellers ending auctions early but it is a way of life.

I emailed the seller and told him he lost close to $2,000 by ending the auction early. I also sent the link to this thread so he would believe me.

I think the seller should complete the deal they agreed to. There is nothing more unprofessional than having a deal accepted then cancelled or receiving an offer to sell only to have it retracted. They probably purchased the pennant for $10 in the first place, so a huge profit is being made. Just my two cents.

I agree. In this type of circumstance, I think the seller should finish his transaction that he has agreed to. It does suck to have an item that you wanted vanish, but that is part of the ebay world.
