I was trying to run to a computer to bid on this in time but missed literally by seconds. |

Location: Newington, CT | I think there must have been some nervousness around the non-working electronics, the hairline crack, and the, shall we say, "terse" description...can't think of any other explanation for a lotta bids and a REALLY low price. |

Location: Huntington Beach | Scary when you see a listing like that. Every item that I've bought that had poor photos and a sketchy description turned out to be a total disaster. And seeing no strings on it is a clue to possible structural issues.
It usually goes like this-
•poor photos
•vague description
•vague answers to specific questions
•no response to questions
•answers like "I don't know much about it but it looks fine to me"

Location: Wooster, Ohio | I think ending a bid in the middle of the day is a mistake. Some of us have day jobs where they actually expect us to have other things on our computer screens than ebay. I probably would have been there in the evening.

Location: Denver, CO | I too was watching that one but - like stated above - no photos, no strings, non-functioning electronics, crack and no description means you have to watch it carefully and expect to put money into it. Could be a great deal, or a money pit. |
