So what happens when you cosign cards, bid up your prices, and then you actually have the winning bid? Any knowledge on this issue?

    Then I guess you have to pay and you get your item?? Since you loved it more than anyone else, I hope you at least got a good price?

    You send in your cards and let it ride; you don't; n/a; other than the aforementioned, none

    you'll never be able to outrun a bad diet

    I suppose buyer and seller mutually agree to cancel the transaction when the saftey bid is not exceeded. In thise case there are no fees charged.

    Ah, the old safety bid. Sure, we all know it is not the ethical thing to do, but it does happen on a large scale. So to simply refer to the people involved by calling them a name really doesn't answer the question. Nor does simply acting as if it doesn't happen.

    Thanks to WallSt32 who was the first person to offer a relevant answer to the question.

    The most relevant answer given.

    How that a-hole then proceeds next is of no concern.

    Just be sure to ship with delivery confirmation and insurance when mailing the card to yourself. And don't forget to leave positive feedback. image

    i can't seem to win much of anything these days.

    i'm fairly certain that if i bid on my own auctions, i'd still find a way to lose. image

    Why not just set a "reserve?"

    "Bidding up" your own item is unethical IMO.

    If one has set a "snipe" on a hypothetical reserve? And winds up winning? Then you're stuck with the item and pay all fees established by the consignment firm. Not a fan of this either.

    Many people who consign assume the risk and take their lumps - and many have here.

    If you're looking for "validation?" I'm not sitting in judgement on you - but I can judge the act - and I think it's not very cool to "shill" your own item.
