    Tempted to bid during the last 30 seconds. Why? To file a "non-performing seller" claim when he refuses to ship the statue.

    Well that's only his loss, the seller must NOT like making money.

    That would be hard since the auction already ended 2 days ago

    On the other hand, i wonder if the seller would turn down a few sniper bids even if those meant that the final price would be considerably higher...

    Thats weird. That is the first time Ive seen that on Ebay, where the seller says he will not honor any sniper bids. Definitely his loss.

    He's got other auctions with the same disclaimer. He wrote to me

    "Yes this disclaimer appies to all my auctions. If Sellers A and B are bidding. And Bidder Z snipes during the last 5 minutes. I will refuse to sell to Bidder Z."

    So if I bid with 5:01 to go no one can outbid me. If they did then they would have their bids nulified for bidding in the last 5 minutes.

    If he really feels this way.

    1. He is an idiot who must be holding a grudge against all snipers after some sniper beat him out on a pair of WWF boxer shorts.

    2. He should just end every auction early manually as if someone does snipe he will have to sell to the winning bidder.

    THis is just remarkably dim. You can set sniping software to place a bid for any time, so if he is creating an artificial cut-off point of 5 mins before the auction end, you just set the snipe for a few seconds before that, because nobody else after that will have their bid honoured.

    WOW Don't know what that guys thinking. He's probably hoping for 2 bidders to go at it during the duration of the auction and knock the price up.

    I agree that you can just enter a bid in with say 5:10 remaining and snipe it that way.... odd

    What I don't understand is how he can "refuse" to sell to a last minute bidder. It falls under the non-performing seller category.

    When I bid I usually dont bid until the last few minutes, and I know that I'm not the only one. Then again, who really wants that Macho Man? maybe if he threw in the Macho Man's rap album

    Yes, Randy Savage released a rap album, it even contained a diss to Hogan(Be A Man). I understand that it sucks......well that was a given. 14 tracks of Macho slang.
