Since the demise of the old 914 club site.....man I used to sell a lot over there....and the slow selling of stuff on this site....YEAH I know the format is anti spam, I have posted my first Evil bay sale..... I swore I would never do it.....but hey, I said I would never have kids either. I hope I don't get hooked and start selling Mom's jewelry and stuff. On my third "buy"....I feel like I am buying a baggy of herb..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) my bank issued a flawed money order.....it was an error on the teller but they issued a stop on a $8.30 cent MO.....I bought a stupid antique sticker for a gas pump I was restoring. Guy blasted me without even emailing me and asking WTF....... Put me off the bay for a couple of years..... Anyone else have any horror stories? |

I had bid (and lost) on some high-end tools (Snap-On stud extractor set)
The seller had a few sets every couple of weeks and I'd always get outbid for them and then finally I didn't see them listed for a month or so. One day I get an e-mail from the buyer stating that he had listed a few sets on eBay with a "Buy Now" option...I looked at the ad and did the "Buy Now" since it was a killer deal... I got suckered big time, on the new ad he didn't mention the brand (Snap On) but the ad was basicly the same ad as before otherwise. Once I got the tools, it ended up being a Harbor Frieght special, I think I paid $35 or $45 for a set of tools that I could have bought directly from Harbor Freight for $15 or less when on sale. It was basicly my fault for not asking what brand and thinking that at that "Buy Now" price I was getting the good quality stuff. I do feel it was a Bait and Switch deal on the sellers end. For his feedback, I just left a Neutral response. |
