Minimum bid is $30
-
Guess I'll start, 5$
-
I'll go $20
-
tobr1an, these will go well with your Ducky YO Tiger.
-
Wow, nice collection:) I remember the colors selling, but not the zinc ones. Where did you get those?
-
From Mr. Feng.
-
Well, that's somefeng I didn't know. Thanks! GLWA!
-
He had them for sale back in the BR period (Before Rootworm).
-
Uh hum. Interesting. I knew he had the keychains PRE-W0RM, didn't know about the zinc ones, as I said earlier. :)
-
This makes them extremely collectible and hard to find and somebody needs to bid more. ;)
-
bump for bids
-
LOL, "somefeng I didn't know" --- nice, SmallFry.
I had the red Ducky cap that came with the black PBT set but gave it away. Stupid of me to do, in hindsight. Oh well. GLWS.
-
I won. YAY :))
EDIT: why is there 5 minutes back on the clock? :'(
Edit 2: nevermind I'm special.
-
Congrats to the special winner!!

Cactux said $20 is too low. So deal is off >:D

Now if you're gonna call a deal off after an auction, set a minimum bid.
I mean, if you won't take 20 bucks, say you're starting at 30. Don't start an auction for less than you'll take. Otherwise you'll end up coming off as a douche (e.g. right now).
-
So, we can just not honor the winner of an auction if we don't get what we wanted, seriously. Seems like a bunch of BS to me. Everyone could simply auction everything theu own and simply say no if they don't get what they want. Mark my words, if this becomes the standard at GH there will be far more issues than the mods will ever want to deal with.

Don't blame me. Blame Cactux. Winner is not complaining...
-
Cactux and I are good friends and pm 4 or 5 days a week, so I am not talking behind his back but he is not a member here. As a sellers agent you are responsible. Do not skirt the issue. It was your auction.

Wait, what happened to Cactux?

By the way, I'm keeping the $20 that eRadicatedZomBiE sent.

Yup, I'd probably lose money with Paypal fee if I sent it back.

So you have an auction with no minimum, back out when you don't get what you wanted to get, and then decide it's ok for someone else to lose money so that you don't for not upholding your end of the bargain? Good luck with anyone ever trusting you on a sale again.
-
Ok fine, winner can pick 4 out of 7 keys. Any 4.

I'm on my phone, what kind of aluminum case is that? One product or something else?

'By the way' I'm just going to casually keep your $20.
-
imsto
Just sell me the case.
-
Some personal advice-
Bite the losses this once. Admit you screwed up, pay the extra, and ship the keys to the winner. It may cost you a bit in the short run, but it would make people a lot more comfortable doing business with you in the future than the current business model of taking your customers money and delivering nothing, or half the promised product.
-
Well, I thought about it for a while and decided to keep the $20. After people started complaining I allowed the winner to pick out 4 keys.
-
imsto
Just sell me the case.
No!! You have to bid on it. If the winning bid is not too low, then you might win it.

why not just learn from your mistake that *just* happened and set a minimum/starting bid now???

I was at Quick Trip yesterday. I bought a candy bar. After I paid for it the cashier told me I couldn't have it. The guy behind me told the cashier he was being a douche so the cashier broke off half and gave it to me.
Now replace the words Quick Trip and candy bar with mmmty and keycaps. Do you realize how ridiculous the premise is now?
EDIT:
No!! You have to bid on it. If the winning bid is not too low, then you might win it.
Ya know what. Nevermind. You're obviously-
a. scamming somebody
b. using a second account to troll us
c. just that oblivious
-
At first I thought this was a joke, considering how rude you just were and would just keep his money.. Then you say fine I'll let him choose a key after all you guys complain. I think complaining is necessary, considering you posted these for auction, no minimum bid, then after you didn't get what you call them complainers? Haha you try and set another item up for a bidding auction, who would ever even want to bid on that after what they just read?
-
There is a fine print "Minimum bid is $30" at the bottom of the first thread. So what do you have to say now??

So you added it afterwords and are now trying to pass it off as being there the whole time.
After this debacle, I'd be amazed if anyone is willing to trade with you again.

I am now 95% sure you're just pulling our chain, but just in case, we can see the edit time.

^ Well, I have nothing to say to that.
Except the winner just sent me another $50 and hasn't complain one bid that I took his $20 and wasn't going to send him the keys. Such a nice guy.

Is there a rule against trolling your own thread? :)

Isn't that like rule 67 or something? I know it's up there somewhere.

Hey eRadicatedZomBiE, please send me more money.
It's been fun - thanks guys!!
-
Dafaq...
No idea what mental state op is in right now...
Thought it was kinda odd for the auction to end so soon to when it started.
-
I didn't know there would be such an uproar after I said that the deal was off. So I had a little fun with it. People who know me knew I was just messing around. Where is that Demik guy when I needed him :rolleyes:
-
But, some people are supposed to find trolls funny. This wasn't people weren't sure if you were being a impassive douche and the continued to be worried about the guy who lost out.
-
my oh my its been an interesting 24 hours around here, what a shame
-
It was funny to me. Watch out for my next sale. Don't forget to bid BIG!! :p
