    Again, nobody is holding a gun to anybody's head.

    They honestly can't say "Thanks, but no thanks -- too much" & simply walk away?

    I don't know about you, but I do that pretty frequently when the price is too high & the seller won't budge enough, and instead just wait for a better opportunity.



    Was what the OP did really much different than what I did in my example, though? Because both bidders eventually ended up privately submitting their best bids in my case. Everybody was happy, and nobody did anything that they didn't feel comfortable with.


    I've already mentioned earlier that the OP seller probably could have/should have done a couple things differently.. Basically, the wording/definitions & the terms of the listing were pretty jumbled, which had led to some confusion and, IMO, some fairly unwarranted attacks.

    It probably could have been run a bit better, but again, it seems like mountains out of molehills.


    Anyway, butting in & making unsolicited comments in an attempted effort of derailing an active B/S/T listing isn't exactly cool.

    I think many can agree on that.

    Does anyone here know silverlicious personally? I think hes in a bit of trouble at the moment, im still waiting for him to ship something to me, ive traded with him on many occasions without any issue. This time he contacted me and left a msg saying hes got some serious problems going on. I believe him but just a little concerned for his welfare

    Realistically, you would call this process "for sale, by tender" not "auction".
    Nothing wrong with sale by tender, but why not call it that?
    When push comes to shove, as long as sellers are clear about their rules and what the potential buyer will get, and the buyer gets what they expect, it's nobody else's business.
    I'm the socialist, but it is all the "free-enterprisers" who seem to get upset when somebody does something different. And boy, don't they!
    Hello!?! That's free enterprise.


    Edit: bloody laptops and their touch-screen mouses!!!
