<p>[QUOTE=&quot;maridvnvm, post: 3101167, member: 31620&quot;]I had a situation a few years ago where there was a new set of auctions associated with a European coin sales venue. There were some new style Athenian owls placed in the auctions. They had an opening price of about a third of their retail value (my assessment). I placed a low ball bid on them at about a half of their retail value. There was a small flurry of bidding but I was quite pleased when I won them all.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was then informed by the seller that they felt that they had finished at too low a price for them to feel comfortable with selling them and they offered to sell them to me at slightly more than I had assessed their retail value to be. I declined and left negative feedback on the auction venue. The seller retaliated and placed negative feedback on me accusing me of being a crook. I escalated this with the auction hosting service. The result was not one that I expected. Because the seller was one of the shops being hosted through the site they managed to get my negative feedback expunged yet the negative feedback left on me remained.</p><p><br /></p><p>I fail to see what I had done wrong in this situation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Suffice to say I never used that venue ever again and the seller is still on my blacklist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
