wellnow Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Sounds like some serious shill bidding. Either that or they just didn't want to sell the record to someone with 0 feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtcohenour Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I ended up messaging him and just offering him 5 bucks less than the "second chance offer" and he took it. So there's that. Sounds shady on the buyers part to me or he was avoiding that buyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Anyone else sketched out by this whole "Second Chance Offer" thing? What I mean is, I placed a bid on a record at the last second but it wasn't high enough to win. The auction ended at $1 higher. I was bidding more than I should have, and really more than I think it's worth, so I figured "Fuck it, you can have it other guy." 3 minutes after the auction ends I get a "second chance offer" to pay the bid that I placed, which was my MAX bid. Then I look at the actual high bidder on the auction and he is a new user with 0 feedback, and this is the only item he's bid on. So essentially it would be easy for the guy to make a new account to bid up the item, and then if he accidentally wins the item, he can instantly turn around and ask the next highest bidder to pay his MAX bid, when he potentially could have gotten it for a lot cheaper than that. I understand that you don't HAVE to accept the second offer, but regardless, that really irks me. Just venting here. Welcome, friend, to the joys and wonders of shill bidding.

somethingvinyl Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 It's most likely shill bidding. But sometimes people have two copies of things and they could just be trying to sell it for the same 'value' the other went for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianmorgante Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Did you see how much his copy of Emery went for? Holy shit. I was bidding on Brent's copy of MxPx - Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, and got sniped with 2 SECONDS left. Last MxPx record I need to have all the ones I actually want. Still only went for $66, couldn't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
