The guy who won the bid did actually make a pretty fair offer on
the email avenue since no one else did and according to ebay
rules for ending listings under 12 hrs to go, he had to be the
high bidder but the offer was made thru email as all offers are
when the item has no buy it now price. I accepted the offer and
after his bid was made it was then I was told he only wanted the
bass head.
People did a lot of talking about that amp,
(the fender), I had 24 people watch the bid and only 1 person
actually posted a bid for the item.
In an auction as you know,
action is what counts not talk. I don't mean to sound rude and I
do hope you don't read it that way but, there was just too much
talk and no action. What would you do? It was a 7 day listing and
I'm just now hearing of your interest in it. I wish I had heard your
offer when I could have talked with you about it. Who knows,
today it could've been in route to your house instead. More $$$
for me right?
When there are 12 hours or less remaining and the item has a winning bid, including a reserve met bid, sellers cannot make any changes to the listing, including:
Ending the item early. Sellers may cancel bids, but not end the item unless the item is being sold to the high bidder.
Excellent points.AlanC said:Two morals to be gained from this, 1) It never hurts to ask about a BIN, and 2) sometimes it's a good idea to throw a low bid in early to lock in the auction and help prevent editing/ending early from going on.
