If a member asked you to end an auction for a price you deemed acceptible...

But at the end of the day, it's his book. He can do with it whatever he wants... sell to someone else, keep it, eat it, whatever.

 

Tom is precisely correct here.

 

Correct in what way? Just reading his responses in this thread has pretty much guaranteed I would never bid on any of his auctions.

[uclapeterg]

What if your bestest CGC board buddy saw the book you were auctioning and wanted to buy it outright. This is someone you have had many successful dealings with in the past, both buying and selling. You tell him no?

 

Yes, I tell him no.

 

What a woos!

 

No, I play by the rules. Just because you don't like the rules doesn't mean you should ignore the rules.

Then I guess you didn't read close enough. I stated I almost never sell on Ebay. You can't buy if I don't sell.

Correct in the statement that I quoted directly above my statement . . . and he probably doesn't care if you bid on any of his stuff . . . I don't think he sells much at all.

You think you do, which is worse . . . you obviously don't even know the rules.

 

I don't have a relationship with the rules, but I follow them to the letter.

It works out perfectly then.

Ok, for those of us to lazy to go look, what are you referring to Diva?

[ComicSupply]

No, I don't because you never know where the price is going to go.

 

Had a guy offer me $50 for this. Told him to bid it out.

Bottom line for me is relationships and $. Hopefully the two intertwine.

"Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price."

For me it's customer satisfaction & repeat business.

Gambling at this establishment? I'm shocked and dismayed . . . Round up the usual suspects

Rules are generally read and interpreted as a whole, and not out of context . . .

 

If you cannot complete your listing as planned, you can end your listing before the scheduled date. If there are bids on your item, you can cancel them.

 

Reasons for ending listings early include:

 

The item is no longer available for sale. . .

[nik]

I have ended only 5 auctions in my time selling, only because of some idiotic offers (tranlation: stupid money), but those auctions never had bids on them.

 

Yeah its your book, your auction you can do as you please, all that aside, I think its a ttty thing to do to end it when bids have already been placed, period.

How is that quote out of context? I don't think there is more than one way to interpret this rule.

 

"Note: Sellers are not permitted to cancel bids and end listings early in order to avoid selling an item that did not meet the desired sale price. This is considered to be reserve fee circumvention. Although there are legitimate reasons for ending a listing early, abuse of this option will be investigated."

I agree, and the legitimate reasons are listed directly above . . . you're a lawyer? I think you've made quite a few assumptions here . . .
