ColecoDan #26 Posted January 5, 2015 I thought something was up because I am not one to put in low bids. Granted I have pretty much everything but the few things I wanted I put very high bids and only one 1 item that I won. I was told I won another one and then all of a sudden he said he made a mistake and that one was gone. Almost like all of a sudden someone went above my bid. It is a shame because he seemed like a good guy in the past but I guess greed will get the best of anyone and they would rather get a lot of money instead of being honest in the way they said they were going to do the auction. Some of my bids I would think would only have lost if he told people to bid again because they didn't go above my bid. Other bids were definately way above what people would have and have bidden on ebay and I still lost those. I wish there was a way we could boycott these types of blind auctions but we all know if someone has the goods we will all try to get them. Maybe the owners of this site could ban blind auctions forever. All auction amount must be posted or auction will be removed. I guess I was not part of the few that got heads up to bid again because I probably would have stupidly gone higher. I am glad I didn't and now I can buy them from someone who deserves my money.

FABombjoy #27 Posted January 7, 2015 On the off-chance that the new owner of the CV Technical Manuals reads this, I would like to rescan and make these materials available to the public in a high-quality, non-watermarked format. I would be happy to cover all costs for postage, photocopying, or other associated (in)conveniences. Or if you are reasonably close: have scanner, will travel. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
