>>I just sent him another email telling him I lied and the joke is on him! :-O lol! better still..i am betting that the buyer already paid the seller via Paypal in fact i bet he had to pay the seller BEFORE he would agree to close the auction for 6 bucks so now,thanks to your efforts the buyer will wake up this morning to see the auction relisted and with no deal and having to wait eons to get the money back :)))) > I think I have done enough >>"damage" already in this situation. > no no think about this you got the auction to come back to life an auction for what i am starting to convince myself is one of the very first if not THE first dedicated chess computer ever sold >However, I might try emailing >the person we >>think was the sneak buyer and telling him that if he wants to steal something, >>he ought to offer a decent price. > thats it go for it > > >> >>I don't understand why anybody would end an auction early to sell to somebody. >>Isn't it obvious if somebody offers you a price that seems out of line, that the >>item must be worth more than you originally thought. > to you and me its obvious but i think the seller just grabbed the money thinking that the buyer was uninformed and offered waaay too much for a cheap run of the mill CC7 so he grabbed the offer but generally i agree the seller is ALWAYS better off to let an auction runs its normal course and even this will not prevent hanky panky i once won an auction for a fairly rare computer and the buyer was contacted by someone After THE AUCTION CLOSED and offered more money when the seller informed me of this and was hinting for me to increase what i fairly won the auction for ,i went ballistic even threatened to go to his house to discuss it he lived within several hours drive thankfully the auction ended normally 1171..1171 Regards Steve
