THE OFFICIAL EBAY CRAZINESS THREAD


Recommended Posts

Anyone know how this may unfold?  Please read carefully before chiming in with an answer, since the situation is a little more deceptive and layered than your typical auction-reserve FAQ.

 

I'm eying an auction with a reserve.  Said reserve hasn't been met, but I messaged the seller to inquire where it may sit at.  He responded with a concrete figure.  I'm willing to bid that amount and then some, though it's been sitting below the reserve all week.  Here's my question: if I snipe the item at the last second, and my max bid is over the reserve, but ends up being $1.00 over the second-top bidder [who's well under the reserve], do I win the auction?  Or does its end-price mean that it gets re-listed again?  If it happens, I feel like the seller should be a champ and sell it off at the reserve price he quoted me on, in the message.

 

Knowing my luck it'll just explode at the last minute and I'll back out, either way.  But it's still something I've always wondered.
