Claude Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 If I understand ebay listings correctly, there was no reserve price for this auction, as it should normally state "reserve has been met" next to the price. Or does that dissapear when the auction is finished? But if you look at the bid history you must also check the bid time. I think the scenario was like this: "happycddog" made a $200 proxy bid on June 6. The following days "cabot02" tried to outbid him by increasing his bids by $10 every time. Of course he was outbid everytime by happycddog's $200 proxy bid. On June 11, 4:07, cabot02 - very desperate - made the >$280 proxy bid that won him the auction at the end. In the hours that followed, happycddog made two attempts to beat him, then renounced. Could that be correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 But there is something that I cannot explain: Why did cabot02 make that >$280 proxy bid when he was already the highest bidder with $205 on June10 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 Well, I have made this too, when I learned I couldn't be online at the time when the auction ended. Increased the proxy bid by a safer amount. But I always stayed within reasonable limits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wulfman Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Check the seller's first page of feedback... looks he bought around 30 positive feedback points for 0.99 each before his foray into selling... If only I had some feedback to sell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 (edited) Jeez, I didn't know there were guys on ebay selling positive feedback (and getting free positive feedback in return): Positive Feedback + Amazing Recipe for Hummus ($0.99) "I will give you positive feedback very fast once you purchase this recipe" 3 GUACAMOLE Recipes~ FAST FEEDBACK!! ($0.99) "I love to give positive feedback to paying bidders, and I do so immediately after payment is received through Paypal!!"

Jazzmoose Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Claude, this has been a major racket on eBay for as long as I've been there. The worst was when people were taking advantage of the charity auctions for 9/11 victims by padding their feedback, and eBay was reluctant to crack down due to their flagwaving over the charity in their press releases.

Guest Chaney Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Full disclosure: I stole this link from the Hoffman Forum. Check out the guy's feedbak history: Complaint : ITEM RECEIVED BROKEN. Don't worry, got my money back. "Gave me a boner." loser. Response by phoneloser-rbcp - Buyer does crack, lives with his mom, wets the bed.

vibes Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 Tony, that's pretty funny. Actually, a lot of his responses to the feedback he receives are pretty funny.

Praise : Payment received. An asset to ebay. A PLEASURE! Response by phoneloser-rbcp - It was good for me too, baby... Praise : Received the CD very promptly!! Response by phoneloser-rbcp - Hope you enjoy the 1 good song on this CD. Praise : Thanks a million! Response by phoneloser-rbcp - Buyer is being misleading, only thanked me 2 times. Praise : Great seller! Would buy from again anytime! Response by phoneloser-rbcp - I have listed other items since this transaction, he never bought any of them. Praise : Thanks, just what the doctor ordered. Response by phoneloser-rbcp - I'm glad I could help, I hope the itching goes away. Praise : Quick shipment, great commincation Response by phoneloser-rbcp - TOO BAD I DIDN'T SELL YOU A DICTIONARY! HAHAHA! I KILL ME! Praise : GREAT !!!!!!

pryan Posted July 4, 2003 Report Share Posted July 4, 2003 (edited) Some nice quips in there, vibes. I wonder how some of the buyers react to those responses. Edited July 4, 2003 by pryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 So, how are eBay prices in general these days (craziness aside). Seems like things are selling pretty cheap. I've got a heap of stuff to sell, much of it semi-desireable (Basra, True Blue, Symphony for Improvisers), but I don't want to be selling into a market where these things bring $10 or less. (Yeah, I know I can set minimum bids, but why go to the trouble if they aren't likely to be met?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Basra and True Blue will probably only go for a couple of bucks. Better sell them to me, instead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 Actually, looking at the completed auctions. Basra's been bringing $10-15. Seems like it was "worth" considerably more not long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrugs Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 I think Basra has been dropping ever since the word of how great the JRVG is started to spread. Maybe the Spanish version too has filled holes for people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
