Canceled Grand Victoria (4 Viewers)

Up for auction is a Grand Victoria cash set. The auction is ONLY for 200 x$1, 100 x $5, 60 x $25, 40 x $100. The chips are in excellent condition, but have seen a few games. I can PM more pictures of the chips if needed, though I believe these pictures show condition well.

The winner of the auction will get the option to add the re-labeled frac's for $250 above auction price, the $500's for $120 above auction price, or both the frac's and $500's for $360 above auction price.

Let’s get this ball rollin.... $750

 

[Angie99]

I apologize but I’m gonna have to back out from my bid of $750

Hmmmm...

 

[hdgeno]

So apparently people are allowed to bid, and then retract their bid later. Seeing as how cancelling an auction after there are bids is not allowed, it would seem that retracting bids also shouldn't be allowed. Somehow this doesn't seem ok to me.

It's late and I should prolly not even post about this as it made me a little hot under the collar.

11 positives and no negatives. I think @Angie99 has proved herself. Something must have come up, it doesn't seem like a matter of buyer's (bidder's) remorse. And the fact that she let you know within 2 hours.. it's not like the dynamics of the transaction changed dramatically because of her retraction.

It's different from a seller pulling an ad with bids. I don't think your analogy is fair.

Sorry to muck up your thread further, but you raised the issue. I'm happy to discuss further by PM or in another thread.

On a site like eBay when you bid you commit to buy. And the dynamics did change, as it went from sold to not sold.

We are not eBay, you are not paying eBay fees and charges and aren't entitled to eBay protections. And retracted bids still happen in eBay, with much more anonymity.

You still have a full forum of bidders who can bid on your auction, as opposed to when a seller pulls an auction for a unique chipset for which no duplicate probably exists.

Not an ideal situation, for sure, and not one that I want to see happening over and over, but in this circumstance, with this bidder, I guess I'd just move on. But that's me.

 

[Perthmike]

I agree. Its not ideal and I understand your frustration, but there was time for someone to come in and bid the reserve price, so nothing was really changed.

 

[MykL316]

You all have valid points, from both perspectives, but lets not let this auction thread get out of control with a discussion about this...out of respect for the seller.

I understand, and I will move on. I don’t agree with people retracting bids on an auction because they suddenly have bidders remorse when they see no one else bidding. Unlike you, in this circumstance, I actually had something to lose or gain here.

There was time, but anybody that didn’t want to get in a bidding war may well have signed off instead of following.

I’ll be fine, I didn’t HAVE to sell, but it would have been nice to have these funds for another project. It just rubbed me the wrong way, and if the shoe was on the other foot you may feel the same way
