ok
this is in reference to the thread posted earlier yesterday......i was looking at the retractions ans noticed one of the posters in that thread also retracted their bid saying its not right for others to mess with auctions..........you know who you are , why did you retract a $72 bid when it was up to 79 by another bidder. if you were suddenly the high bidder that should make you happy, not retract the bid............could it be that the poster who retracted their bid is actually a shill fore the seller and originator of the thread, with a 9 rating , oh god she's a lifer on ebay and knowsall the scams, NOT!!...........why else would thishappen........why take the advice or even listen to a 9 rating........PLEASEEEEEEE
maybe the $80bidder/retractor is a reader of this board too or maybe working with the seller to shill the item. posting on this board was a way of covering the truth, just blame it on others and complain here as you shill...........
yes sounds like a stretch but so do most of the theories in the other post, especially the one about the bidder advertising his auction as a powerseller.........hell people don't read the retractions before they bid................
or the whole truth could be that someone read the original thread and was just bumping it on rtheir own toi help the seller in an annon. way....then when they became the high bidder they panicked and retracted, then saw the post about their bid being retracted and the old biddy police here telling the seller to email safeharbor, they felt bad and bumped it back up just enough to milk the top bid without beign the high bidder..........................
all this sound crazyt right???????? well not any crazier than the stuff posted on the original thread........you guys/gals make me laugh sometimes, reacting before actually thinking..........

This whole thread would be a lot more interesting (and understandable) if the author would use spell check, and pay attention to what is being typed!!

You need to end the auction NOW and sell it to the high bidder. Or end it and relist it at another time. These people are playing games with you. I know. I have been there a few times.

yes spell check would be helpful but why bother.....you can understand it just the way it is unless the bartender has been sampling the drinks again.......hey look no missspells, oops theres one now........
the downfall of that auction was posting a thread hjere about the bids going crazy......
when will folks learn that this board may be helpful at times BUT theres a bunch of game players and busy bodies here too.........
i bet dollars to doughnuts that all the games were originated here, dollars to donuts, there i got in both correct spellings.....
also its not a spelling problem per say, its a typing problem, if you notice all the errors are from keys next to the correct ones...........
I noticed all that and the person that told the other one not to mess with other "peeps" auctions retracted her bid, which was lower than his! Seems like people thrill bid the auction.
Goes to show you shouldn't be blowing your own horn about how great your auctions are doing on here. That's advertising anyway.
I locked the original thread because the bidders under discussion were readily identifable. That decision cannot be circumvented by starting another thread to continue discussing the bidder/s.
I am locking this thread. Please do not start another.
