Man.... I structured my day to be here for this auction. They had several pieces I was interested in but this one was the piece I was lusting for and I was ready when it crossed the block. I entered a max bid of $300.00 over a week ago. It hit the block and rapidly climbed. Then it closed at $300.00 and I am feeling good that I won.... Then it says it was sold onsite!!!! What the heck? Wasted 2 1/2 hours of a beautiful day too. Dangit!!
So they are using bidders to find the top and then someone says thankyou I'll take from here? Have I got that right?
A few weeks ago I had 4 buy it now orders from 4 different sellers for psyllium husks power canceled. Two said I was using the wrong address--same address I've been using for 25 years. What kind of crap (excuse the pun) is going on with that?
Hi @Randy Abercrombie . Don't be disillusioned. Probably means they are honest! This is how it works. You bit $300 but someone bid $400 the day before you, their bid takes precandence and they buy at the last top offer because they had priority precedence. It happens to me a lot,
On Ebay I use Auction Sniper because if there is something stupidly described, if you bid you attract attention and then the bids pile in. My bids are placed in the last seconds. I have had some great buys but mostly losses because I don't follow the bidding and get sucked into auction frenzy.
