<p>[QUOTE="Blaubart, post: 1720231, member: 37498"]One of the lamest excuses I've heard is a guy I know who regularly bids on car parts for restoring cars. He says he doesn't have time to follow auctions and get in bidding wars, so he just takes whatever he would normally bid, and multiplies it by 50x or so. For example: A part that he might be willing to pay $100 for, he'll bid $5099. When he wins it, <i>then</i> he checks the closing price to see if it's acceptable. If not, he just tells the seller he meant to bid $50.99, but must not have put in the decimal. He said he's never had to pay for an item he didn't want. The worst part is he somehow thinks he's sticking to FeeBay when he does this. He refuses to believe that he's making life hard on sellers since they can just offer it to the next guy in line. :rollling:</p><p><br /></p><p>ETA: Oh yeah, and to make things worse, I think he's 22 or 23. But when he contacts the seller, he says he pretends to be elderly and that he can't figure out these darn computers.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
