<p>[QUOTE="tradernick, post: 2518425, member: 648"]On ebay I'm a seller, not usually a buyer so I want to give my 2c on this seller. If he is so brazen as to admit he canceled the listing because of the low price, he doesn't deserve any business. Being a coin seller isn't about playing games, it's about selling coins. I start every listing at the least amount I'm willing to accept. If it sells I'm happy, if it doesn't sell I'm still ok. To lure someone in with a low price then cancel the listing is underhanded and unprofessional. Sad that there are shysters like this. If I were a buyer I'd never shop with that seller again. Plus, my days are so jam packed frantic busy all day that I can't imagine having enough free time to monitor auctions that are ending. Usually I don't know what they sell for until it's being shipped. Recently I listed a Roseville vase that I wanted to sell for 69.99. Somehow I put the wrong amount and it got listed for 29.99...and of course I didn't realize until it was sold and paid for. I'm a big boy and I took my lumps. I shipped it out and hope the person enjoys the bargain and will shop with me again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Too bad you had this experience, sadly ebay is a home to skeazeballs like that guy but there's many many good sellers there too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
