If he doesn't ship, then his standing on this forum is gonna go the shit, and I'll make sure it is noted somewhere to keep an eye on things.

isn't there some kind of ebay blacklist on this site? He could go there. It's crazy though, his post count and time on DP is impressive. You'd think one would not want to mess that up...
Thats why I am kind of torn between him being an asshole or having an honest situation based mistake. Im still leaning a bit towards a screw-over due to the circumstances. It would have been much less suspicous if it was a mostly worthless item.Originally Posted by monkeychemist

Just got back from camping, nothing yet. I sent another message through ebay informing him I hadn't seen any reply from him yet and asking him to please reply using ebay's messaging system.
<Sothy> its the internet <Sothy> who cares
...Yeah now I'd put it on asshole status.
Seems like you won it for TOO cheap and someone ballsy enough contacted the seller after the auction ended and offered more. Hell, this game was selling for $400 a few years ago!
Or that the guy selling was unhappy with the selling price and decided to make up some reason to pull off the auction and release with a higher starting bid price.
DERP
I don't know where you got that number, but Starfox Super Weekend never sold for much higher than $250. The DKC Competition Cart has always sold for upwards of $400, though.

Well, it looks like this is going to end up being the case.
I have read the entire thread ....
My conclusion is : BULLSHIT.
Predatorxs didn't cancel shit, he wanted more money for his game .... i hate when sellers do that stuff; why don't use BIN with Best Offer !???
He deserves a negative, if he has balls, he should ship the game ASAP; but that won't happen.
Very sorry, Skaar; it's shame that you have to deal with this shit, Karma will do its job with this ass-wipe

Hey Predatorxs...
On the record, I do "NO JACK," so hear me out.
Some time ago I saw a copy of the highly regarded X68000 game "AKUMAJO DRACULA" go for like $600 on eBay; a lot more than it was worth. I needed some money to buy another game I'd been searching for so I listed mine and hoped for the best.
TWO of my bidders contacted me and said they'd forgotten to bid on the item or hadn't bidded enough. I had to say sorry - it hurt me more than it hurt them, in the end, to complete the transaction, but it's what I had to do.
That said, you weren't trying to take advantage of market ignorance like I was. I'm sorry to hear your item went below what you think is the market value, but you still gots to come through man!
FINAL THOUHT: Isn't eBay giving sellers a number of free listings per month now? (Am I repeating myself?) All the more reason to list an item with the amount you want to get as a BIN and high starting price right offa da bat.
Well i'm glad some of the people that haven't been on Dp for all that long and don't know me are passing comment, and i'm telling lies thanks for your +1 posts there not appreciated!.. And i'm not lying,
THE..... R..E..A..S..O..N.. It went for a low price is i was cancelling the bids at the end.. Sooo should i get back to all the other bidders that had bid more and sell it to them??
Also if i was a scheming no good ebayer, why didn't i just get another ebayer or a friend to shill bid the damn thing up to cover myself??
Because i play by the rules, i was doing what f**king ebay said to do, since i had no time left (less than 12 hours left, i couldn't stop the auction), i had hoped to have the auction end with no bids and relist with the reserve so it would go as i intended.
I'm not really interested by the comments some of the newer DP members have made, since they dont know me? but can still pass comment on me.. thanks guys?!
I'v explained the situation, I did use turbo lister, i did have a reserve set. I DON'T think i should take the hit when ebays turbo lister is garbage?? And i'm pretty much finished with ebay.
And i still have only limited access to the internet, i'm writing this message on a friends iphone. I no longer have internet access at work, its blocked to only the sites that we need to use.
PS, I appreciate your comments Ed Oscuro, but i'm not willing to take the hit when i did choose a reserve price. I hope your doing ok, i haven't spoke to you in along time.
It would change a thing if i knew you from 30 years ago, what you did is wrong. Why did you cancel bids ??. Shouldn't at least the game reach 100 st. pounds ?? ... Couldn't you take an offer lower than 140 ? ... is not like you are giving an item for free, it was your mistake, not skaar's.Well i'm glad some of the people that haven't been on Dp for all that long and don't know me are passing comment, and i'm telling lies thanks for your +1 posts there not appreciated!..

I saw your feedback and you sold one for 71 pounds ?? ....
EDIT.
If you insist that you play by the rules ... isn't a rule to sell the item to the highest bidder ? ... technically you couldn't "cancel" his bid, so he is the legitimate winner, isn't he ?

The rules by ebay are such that you cannot cancel an auction with 12 hours left. If you didn't want the auction to end, you should have canceled it before this. You shouldn't have started cancelling bids (something I very much doubt you did) if you didn't want the price to be too low. You know, you should just suck it up and accept that you screwed up. Everyone makes mistakes, and the people who buy your stuff shouldn't be the ones suffering. It is an asshole move on your part and I really don't know why you are surprised at the backlash. Really, at one point I thought you were a pretty good guy on these forums, but now you come off as selfish and arrogant in your attempts to get out of a legally binding agreement.

sorry bud, the only way to save face after all this is to just complete the sale. Anything else you say makes you sound more and more like an ass...Well i'm glad some of the people that haven't been on Dp for all that long and don't know me are passing comment, and i'm telling lies thanks for your +1 posts there not appreciated!..

Even if you're being completely up front, what you're basically saying is that, between the two of you, he deserves to get screwed more than you do.
I happen to be one of the people that bid on the auction too and I have been on this forum for a while.
Also, considering you have posted less than 20 times in the last year, dont expect people to know you very well!

I'm with Predatorxs on this one guys. Point-by-point:
-not everyone refreshes their auctions every 10 minutes, so I can see why he never saw that it was messed up. Maybe You think he skipped the reserve on purpose in order to save a few cents on a ~$300 item? Does that make sense?
-I've started auctions only to remember a few days later I'm going to be out of town the weekend they end. Yes, poor planning, but something anyone can do.
-Who got 'screwed' more... the "winning" bidder, or the high bidder whose bid was canceled? I don't think anyone has grounds to say Predatorxs is lieing about canceling bids.
-It sucks to think you got a good deal on something, then have it yanked away, but really, what true harm is done to the 'winning' bidder?
Anyway, just my take on it. Definitely a sucky situation for all.
This will be my last reply...
1 - I'm not looking to save face, as a DP member i thought i'd sahre my side of this stupid situation
2 - Nobody deserves to get screwed, i refunded the payment.
3 - I'v posted less than 20 times, after being pretty much scammed by another DP member, and DP isn't what it used to be..
4 - I replied back to show i wasn't being unfair, but i had chosen a reserve price for my auction, which wasn't even included in the auction, i'v already emailed ebay and complained.
5 - And since pretty much non of you seem to know me, your still talking like you do?? Strange.
6 - Why would i post here on DP about the auction and then do this, I WOULDN'T!!
