Everyone is anonymous on Flea bay now, you can't view who you are bidding against. Another bs deal ya know. Another reason I would not deal with Evil bay.

1500.00 was high bid.

A person in the FE community who is not answering messages thru ebay, by email or by phone.

That does not mean they will not pay but one would think in the amount of time given so far they would respond.

they were very late in the game to bid so am sure they were watching auction.
It will really mess things up if a non pay.

Do not remember the time line given to pay but usually what I put is no more than 3 days.
I simply do not see a time line at this point within the listing.

Never had luck with 2nd chance offers

When I sold my 3x2 the buyer never communicated at all.
Just paid the money and said nothing.
Shipped it to him and asked him to tell if it got there Ok.
Nothin'.
I guess some folks don't like to talk.

And on the Ebay deal.
Yeah they surprised me.
Had my charges tallied up when I did the add so I thought I knew what it would cost then afterwards billed me for 10% of the sale.

535.00 + the ride to a forum member. Or do the ebay bid and see where it goes.

I'll take it at that price.

Let me know where to send the payment.

Thanks

I would contact the other seller and make sure that your buyer isn't bidding on that one too.

But it was a "private" auction, bidders identities protected.

I don't understand the thinking behind making it private, the only people apparently it is actually private for are other bidders, why keep other bidders from knowing who else is bidding against them?

I don't understand how he is able to see if his "private"bidder is bidding on another seller's auction.

I also don't understand all these bidders with hundreds of wins on their history that bid repeatedly in the opening days of an auction...just driving up the price.  That's the eBay novice approach, not the behavior you'd expect from experienced bidders.

I do understand contract law, where if you present an offer and it is accepted without modification, then there's a deal.

I've been known to bid early in an auction.

My reasons:
-I know what I'm willing to pay for something.  If I'm only willing to pay $100 and I don't really care if I win, I just bid $100.  It might look like someone is bidding repeatedly, when it is just their high bid being posted due to someone else bidding.
-I work offshore a good bit of the time (2200 days this decade) and cell service is sometimes unavailable, so I just bid when I can and forget about it.

Guessing that you joined this forum solely for the purpose of trying to take advantage of an offer that has obviously expired

Don't see an expiration date or withdrawal of the offer.  Joined here due to lack of response at network54 forum by ra.

Looks like the expiration date of that offer expired when it was listed on eBay due to no takers. BTW I couldn't see anywhere on the other forum where anyone made  bid or offer. Did I miss it?

The original offer had an "or" in it.

Seemed to me the eBay path lead to a charade, so I chose the straight-up choice.

Not that difficult. He has the sellers name and ebay ID. He contacts the other seller, tells him what happened with his auction, and asks if his buyer is bidding on the second one to try and get it cheaper. Done deal. The only hitch would be if the second seller didn't cooperate.
