It's fine with me, but it's not how it works.

Buyers trying to get the guitar a cheaply as possible? How utterly selfish of them. Wouldn't it be so much better if they just sent you a blank cheque?

Well technically no, it's not. But doesn't it irritate you? I've sold loads of guitars on there with (realistic, not sky high) reserves, only to have about 5 guys afterwards saying that they were going to bid but didn't for X reason. It's just my way of making sure that people bid what they are willing to pay.

If it was up to me I think **** should actually implement a rule that states you can't bid when there is 30 minutes or less to go, unless you've had a previous bid in the auction.

Come on guys, let's get along here, I'm trying to put things how I see fit because it's MY auction. What's wrong with that?

Re: New auctions to laugh at


Ibanez249: I can understand your frustration, but I wait to bid until the last minute very often. I take the chance of the item being pulled, but that's life.

I've also been in situtations where I'm waiting to get a check or something and cannot bid because I literally don't have the money.

I did this recently: I plain forgot to bid on something and the auction ended with no bidders. I emailed the seller and offered to use BUY IT NOW and add $5 for his trouble. Voila! Problem solved. You might email some of these prospective buyers and ask them if they're interested in doing that.

Re: New auctions to laugh at


Thanks Ekim, I have tried but then the people sort of get the "Well it didn't go for your reserve so I'll offer you X amount" mentality (insert really low price where the X is)

It actually happen with a PBK I sold not long ago. I had a reserve of Ł650 (I think that was the first time, I listed twice because the reserve wasn't met) on it. I was going to sell for around Ł600-Ł650 to a couple of guys from **** and jemsite depending on who was willing to pay and more to the point who wanted it, (no offense to the guys that were interested but they were a bit slow in making decision, due to things like cash flow problems,etc.)

So I bit the bullet because nobody was buying and relisted, but because of what happen previously with the waiting until the last minute and the fact that it cost me over Ł20 just to list the thing in the first place, (and it was going to cost the same again, totalling about Ł50 to list just one guitar!) I decided to put on the auction that I wasn't into waiting for the last minute and if you wanted it to e-mail me your offer and if I liked it, I'd take it (and if the seller needed feedback, to just bid to become the highest bidder and I'd end the auction)

The result? I sold it to a guy for more than the Ł650 that was my reserve and both he and I were well pleased with the deal. What can be better than that?

I have reasons for doing things the way how I do them and that's because they make sense, to me at least

Re: New auctions to laugh at


Well the other thing is that **** (at least they used to, haven't tried it lately) will let you re-list and refund your first auction's listing fees IF you lower the reserve or the BUY IT NOW price.

If someone tried low-balling me after the auction was over, I'd either take it or tell them to pound sand in their arse. I guess it would depend on their offer!

Not really anything, but why would someone replace V pickups with INFS?
