Irritating. :x



You aren't kidding, I'm seriously annoyed.

When I checked last night it was $2,550 and obviously still had places to go. Someone's happy, but it's not me.

He's pulling them before the auction ends because he thinks they might go for less than he wants. Don't know why he just doesn't use a reserve. The high bidders bid was actually $3k. If he's got to have $5k then just set the reserve there and if it doesn't sell at least he will see where the market is at. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. :?

Agreed completely.

Personally I don't think that he will get $5k for it - I certainly wouldn't go that high, but he would have found out who was serious and if he sets a reserve and it doesn't get there then there is at least a negotiation that can take place.
