Deron Douglas Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Folks, it's been a while and some of you may remember me. I started selling a couple of my swords (getting into Breitling Watches) and I recently had an auction on ebay and a buyer called shtoos123 slipped through the cracks. Not sure who he/she is, but they bid an astronomical amount on a sword to block/prevent a legitimate buyer from winning. I did a search and found he did this with a number of swords. Not sure of the reasoning. BUT... he did me a favour..HEHEHE... it back fired on him. With this action he saved me money and helped me sell the sword. I got what I was asking plus shipping AND I didn't have to pay eBay FINAL VALUE fees! So THANK YOU shtoos123!!! Actually, a very nice person purchased a great sword! The price was lower then I paid, but it was a "fair" price around. I don't mind loosing the money (not a big deal for me), but I DO WANT my swords to go to someone that will take care of them and appreciate it as much as I did. SO I AM VERY HAPPY with the turn out all around. But out of curiosity, has anyone run into this fellow before or had a similar experience? Cheers Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted February 26, 2011 Report Posted February 26, 2011 Some Ebay snipers are known to use a technique of bidding a ridiculously high amount in the last second... However i have not come across this type of action before.. KM Quote
