Message:: [QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 1921876, member: 20480"]I can relate medoraman A few years ago eBay was very profitable for me.  In recent months however, like you, I constantly get overbid by the same guy . . . the worst part?  In perhaps one third of those cases, I'm contacted the next day with second chance offers because he backed out of the transactions after winning (evidently, he feels I'm willing to pay too much for coins I chase).  I find that especially frustrating because, if I want the coin, my bid has been maxed out by a non-participant, instead of by an underbidder.  In many other cases, I simply see the subject coin relisted again the following day.  I know he's wiggling out of paying for most of his winnings, based on the sheer number of times I've lost to him, and the relatively low number of completed transactions reflected in his feedback profile. I wouldn't be so bothered, except that I often spend quite a bit of time formulating my max bids, only see that time wasted. On the flip side of the coin, I'm quite sure I've been a pain-in-the-arse spoiler of someone else's plans on numerous occasions, so I've got to take the bad with the good, right?[/QUOTE]
