shadroch Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I'd ask for some evidence that this happened system wide. If it happened to a bunch of books, I'd pay. Absent proof of widespread computer error, I would be very reluctant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm told there was an error in the auction lot. The programmer is looking into it now. Your wining price is $XXXXX but the auction processed the bid at a lower amount. Please do not send payment until we sort this out and send out an updated invoice. Thank you. Rob Reynolds Director of Consignments The new price is very close to the max bid I entered. With comic connects 3 minute closing system how do I know there had been another bid and it was for just below my maximum bid. Since it went through the closing procedure at the lower bid and it’s supposedly an error in there system should I really have to pay the higher amount? Please let me know what you guys think. Seems SUS ESPECIALLY because it it is comic connect.!! Yeah VINCE I SAID IT!! Timely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mmehdy Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 If error legitimate and really want the book, paying slighly more should be OK. If you suspect otherwise, then do not go forward with your purchase...I would ask for a full explanation which is reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo_7071 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I would not pay. I think that there are a lot of shenanigans in these online auctions (starting with auction houses leaving books that sold for strong prices in their databases but scrubbing all records of weak sales, etc.). I don't know whether any of these sites are hack-proof, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
