| Thought a new thread would be in order, I am selling this beautiful guitar for $600 to the first person interested. I had it on ebay and almost lost it for $380 :( but then the girl who won it wanted to trade another guitar for it,I took the advantage to cancel the sale and she agreed. :)
So now maybe I will have someone who knows the value of this guitar and can appreciate the condition it's in.

Location: SoCal | Wow, I\'m confused about that auction you\'re talking about...
No reserve, No buy-it-now, but the Seller provides their email address for contact on the buy it now price.
The Seller is experienced with 356 feedbacks received from buyers.
It takes the bidder almost 2 1/2 days to realize they entered the wrong amount :confused:
anaislily1969 bid $800...... Nov-10-06 21:46:09 PST
anaislily1969 retracted bid Nov-13-06 8:53:21 PST Explanation: Entered wrong amount
They then bid a lower amount.
anaislily1969 bid $380...... Nov-13-06 08:54:27 PST
And then they win!
anaislily1969 wins auction @ $380 on Nov-15-06 18:05:11 PST
I have seen bidders ask about trades prior to bidding, but after winning an auction?
Maybe I've been around too long, but with over 600 eBay sales, we have not had one winner offer up anything other than money.
:confused: :( :confused: :( :confused: |

| Noah,
I admit it was odd but I welcomed it because I didn't want to let it go for that price. I didn't question the winner too much because the truth be known I didn't want to sell it for $380.
Not sure what you are talking about a email address for a buy it now????? maybe you are confusing the winner with someone who offered me $750 via email which I refused, why did I refuse it? read the other thread it will explain it.
She changed her max bid from $800 to $600 and won with $380, I can understand her changing her mind and didn't want to go up to $800 so she changed to $600...why she waited until it was over to offer a trade who knows but it gave me a out which I took.
Noah, are you trying to imply something?? if so just say it and I'll gladly correct you.
I'm glad you are all having a good time with this but stuff happens..........lol |

"She changed her max bid from $800 to $600... I can understand her changing her mind and didn't want to go up to $800 so she changed to $600..."
I can see her original max-bid of $800 because it is revealed in the Bid Retraction, but where do you see her new max-bid of $600?
The bidding did not go over $380, we have no idea what her max-bid was :confused:
In the Question and Answers, the Seller says, "Contact me at eaglepi@cableone.net on the buy it now price."
:confused: :( :confused: :( :confused: |

| The buy it now price was a response to another person who wanted me to take it off ebay. She told me that she retracted her max bid of $800 and changed it to $600, she didn't want me to think she cancelled her bid altogether.
what I am confused about Noah, and I don't want to disrespect you because I know you are a very respected person in this forum and I am the new guy but why are you digging into this so deep, you are over reading most things that happened. If you look at my name, the PI stands for Private Investigator. I am reading into your posts that I may have done something shifty, I don't play that game and if that is your point I take exception to that.
The facts are I didn't want to let the guitar go for $380, she bocked and I used that to cancel the whole deal.
Hope this helps you understand better. |

| I live on the Minnesota / North Dakota border, I retired to to health reasons last year but was licensed in North Dakota. I know I was very lucky to get out of this deal with my guitar, She said she would pay for ir after I said no to a trade but I said I didn't feel comfortable with the whole thing and felt it best that we cancelled the deal, she agreed and I was happy about that.
I just don't appreciate that someone is implying that i did something shifty, I may be over reading into Noad's post but you know how chat or emails and post can be.. the reader may read it totally different than it is meant. I just want to make it clear that I did force the deal to be cancelled but that was all I did. |

Even though that Pacemaker is one of the nicer ones the $380 on Ebay is about what they go at. Having your reserve set is very important.
I was hard on you as you approached the end of your auction because I get the same way as the time approaches. It can be tough.
I would like to extend all benefit of the doubt and I hope to see you around as a regular member here but I'm with Noah. Many of the behaviors and items you bring up I find alerting. Time will tell and I hope I'm wrong. If you take an objective look at this whole post, profile and auction you would have to agree. You don't have a means of knowing how much a bidder really entered. It looks like you were fishing in the OFC waters. I hope I'm wrong.
My ebay rules include setting my reserve and time parameters and holding off to the end. I have tried unsucessfully to sell certian items because I wanted more than JQ Public wanted to pay.
The OFC is real people. |

| Sorry OFC ?? not sure what that is? you guys are spitting out genetic terms, say what is on your mind. what is it that you think I may have been doing. I can't address anything that isn't direct and to the point.
The facts are I had a guitar on ebay and it sold for a lot less than I wanted , I didn't set a reserve price, I never use them. She showed me that she wasn't too sure about the sale and I took advantage of it by cancelling the sale because I didn't want to let it got for $380.
I know that I can get $600 if I just be patient. You guys seem to be wasting a lot of time and energy in trying to say I did something wrong, don't beat around the bush just say it and I'll address it. |

| Thanks for the OFC, fishing?? none of you bid on it as far as I know, I had 32 watchers at the end I assume many of them were you and others. Sure with that many my hopes were up high.. ok I'm done explaining this whole thing, you think what you want.... |

Dave Right Dave, last night I watched an auction I had high bid on, fully expecting to have to raise it. 4 hours later, I won it for my original bid. Funny place that Ebay. |

Stick with us. This isn't the first post to wander off topic. As far as the ebay thing goes, more than a few of us have been bitten by a bad deal and we are a bit gun shy as a result. Don't take it personnally. If you are on the level then no harm no foul.
Stick around. We have a good time. |

| I'm not worried about Ebay, as one of you noted I have 388 feedbacks so I have been around Ebay for a while.
It just concerned me that some suggested but never said that I may have done something wrong... that is over and past, now I just want to sell this beautiful guitar.
I'll be here until it sells, if I played I would be here everyday it's a great place. |

Location: Upper Left USA | The BIN with the "Make Offer" is a great way to safely hold an auction. Paypal has a lot of benefits in the protection of Buyer and Seller. Ensure that only Verified Buyers can end your auction.
I am sorry if I came across harsh. I was seeing things with a little paranoia maybe. I have been getting daily second chance offer via email on items I either already won/paid and received or completely foriegn crap. There is a tremendous amount of predators out there.
Wait until I go to sell something. You can tell me to lighten up then! :rolleyes: |
