Topic: Ebay etiquette question...

ie, if you wanted it you should have bid higher,

Amen!!  No bid, even if it's in the last two seconds, will beat a higher maximum bid.  It's the HIGHEST bid that wins, not the LAST.

<< He obviously had more money to blow, so he couldn't give a #$%* about spending more, therefore #$%*ing me over because I'm not the idle rich.  By all rights, it SHOULD have been a part that no one identified and should have been passed over as a random engine bit, allowing ME to get it. >>


It wasn't personal.  What do you think he did, wake up that day and say, 'I think I'm gonna #$%* over GG even though _he_ (thinks he) deserves the part?'


<< If you send him the note, he's gonna remember who you are and outbid you every time he sees you. >>


And _that_ _would_ make it personal.


<< I have too say that the bid swiping is annoying as hell, It's one thing to be fairly outbid by another person >>


All's fair on ebay.  If I, or anyone, for that matter, can place a bet at literally the last possible second that is higher than another person's highest proxy bid, then that, too, is fair.  It's just the nature of the beast.

I admit it's a goofy bit of engineering, but I don't see the need to stock-pile too many cam chain adjuster arms. There is often a little chain rub but they can saved. Hell maybe this is the opportunity I've been looking for, rebuilding those precious little arms and offering it to all 400 owners everywhere!

BobbyR,
I have only had 2 of 500+ ebay items "fall though".
I never reply to emails from NON-bidders, BECAUSE
every time when I relisted the parts for non-bidders, the morons never bid!!
and I got stuck with 2 times cost of listings.
ie, if you wanted it you should have bid higher,
save the excuses for your Mama.
peace,
michel

Hot shot:
#1 I am not the guy who complained about being out bid, he did bid and  I just gave him some advice.
#2 I sold on ebay since there was an ebay, and you can get lucky and have a high bidder change their mind. I guess ebay went to all that expense to put in a "second chance" feature in there since 2 out of every 500 sales go bad.
#3 I guess I did not have the scary good stuff to sell that you have.
#4 Save the drama fo yo mamma.
Peace out.

Sorry,
but as a seller I want the most I can get for any part I sell.

And as a buyer, I want to pay the absolute minimum.  Bang for the buck, you know.
