Has anyone ever had a bidder take one of your auctions past the reserve price then a day later cancel because he said that he entered the wrong price? I had a guy do that, after five consecutive bids and canceled. The problem I have with it is that now everyone knows what the reserve price is and ruined my chance of selling the coin for more money. Am I being greedy? Do I have a right to be pissed? -Dan

Wow, that was really stupid of you to block me from bidding. I retracted my original bid because it was too high, but I had just tried to put in a bid at the last minute which would have more than met the reserve. I also wanted to buy the Irish 10 shillings proof coin. Oh well... your loss.
Screw you!!! I could care less that you were going to buy my coin. Who do you think you are? 14 retractions in 6 months? what a douche bag. I am going to raise hell with ebay about you.
14 retractions is not a big deal, relatively speaking, since I've bid on nearly a thousand items in that period. Most of the retractions are because I later noticed some fine print in the listing which changed the entire circumstance. A couple were because I had realized my initial bid was too high. In the case of your coin, I initially bid $110, but then realized that was almost twice the book value, so I retracted and wanted to bid $90 at the end of the auction. There was nothing malicious in it, and you can raise hell all you want. The retraction was stated as "entered wrong amount".. if I can't do that, then why does eBay give that option? Answer me that.
And "douche bag" is what I usually call people.
But seriously, I'm willing to put all that aside. If you still would like to sell the two coins, I'm still willing to buy. It's up to you.
-Ok, well what goes around comes around time 2. I'm blocking you from two other accounts I use, where I sell bulk lots of better coins. You've won 2 past auctions on one of them, but never again.
Hopefully you'll learn not to be nasty and ignorant... it only leads to less business.
Thanks.

but 14? People make mistakes sometimes when bidding but after a few times you'd think they'd get it right. To me he sounds
like someone who will drive your bid up and then win the item only to try to negotiate a lower price than what it was
won for.
BTW, the cameo on that proof ten shilling is brilliant! Cameos that deep on these coins are far and few between.
The guy is out of line. He thinks it's ok to retract bids because he later reads something in the auction he doesn't like, or because he later finds out that the book value is below his bid? Excuse me, isn't the time for that before you pull the trigger on a bid? A frequent seller and thousand-plus bidder knows this well. Block him, forget him, move along, I'd say.

You have no integrity. If someone were to do this to one of your auctions, I think, you would be the first to call them out. If I really were the winner of one or more of your auctions, it was because I really wanted the coin. I did not win it by any other way than to bid what I felt was what I was willing to pay. I won it fair and sqaure. You are an ahole for bidding on my auction five times in a row and 24 hours later recanting your bid. I have every right to put a reserve on my auction. I put that reserve knowing that I will recoup the cost and any profits that I should want off of the coin. Basically selling it for what I want to sell it for. The buyer decides whether he or she wants to buy it for. You screwed it up by finding out what I was selling it for and letting evryone know that price by finding my reserve price then canceling your bid. That cancellled bid gave my auction a negative, whether you know it or not. You scared off some bidders because they figured that you canceled your bid for a reason such as the coin was not described as such. My guess is that you do know that and you use this tactic frequently. I have a right to be angry. I will find out all of your ebay seller identities( if you actually have more than one) and will complain to ebay for the problems that you have caused me.
