Should I cancel this bid?

LINKY-POO

Bidder has private feedback and is in Taiwan. Auction clearly states I will only ship to US and Canada.

    I would wait to see if he get's outbid! I have a very good customer in Taiwan (not the one that is bidding on your auction), but he always sends cash (via registered mail) and has never stiffed me!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Marty is shrewd image
    Also, if you look, all his feedback is positive....maybe there was something that was bogus and he was having it removed or something and made it private until then...and forgot to adjust it?
    Send him email and ask him why it is private if you need to....but, Marty has a good idea on letting him keep the price up there for you.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Even if you cancel the bid with 5 minutes left, you have an underbidder that will get the coin. If he gets outbid it's a mute point. BTW, that is a very nice coin!!!

    Ask him if he has a US mailing address. I once had a bidder from Japan give me a mailing address in NYC. BTW, All his feedback is positive. You may also want to ask him why his feedback is private.
  • Once again I must ask, who ya jivin' with that cosmic debris?

    I hate when bidders don't read the terms! I too think Marty has a good idea. I'd go with his advice.

    BTW- That's one awesome looking coin! I'm not a darksider but that coin is really nice! image

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
