Members whinewine Posted November 30, 2009 Members Report Posted November 30, 2009 Assuming that there wasn't any shilling going on, and assuming that everything was on the up-and-up, you can't fault the seller. Each and everyone of us would praise the buyer(s)' naivete and stupidity all the way to the bank, if we were in that seller's shoes.(And no seller is going to stop an auction to say, 'hey dummy, you're bidding too much for this widget, you can get the same thing at Hidecrafter for $7.99, and for $4.99 at...') And yes, I'm sure that there is not one of us on this site who hasn't done exactly the same stupid thing ("gotta have it gotta have it now no matter what, gotta outbid everyone else, gotta gotta gotta it's the only one out there in existence... "). What's the saying, Caveat Emptor... Let the Buyer Beware...? russ Quote
Timd Posted November 30, 2009 Report Posted November 30, 2009 Russ, were you the winning bidder?? LOL Quote
Members TTcustom Posted December 1, 2009 Members Report Posted December 1, 2009 Kate I haven't had this one bend or break on me yet either. But, the basketweaves are a whole 'nother story!

Members whinewine Posted December 1, 2009 Members Report Posted December 1, 2009 Russ, were you the winning bidder?? LOL No, Tim. I've never gone that high on stupidity, nor even come close. But I've certainly done my share on the low end (so I guess that fits into quantity, not quality of stupidity). I now have learned to try to research first , rather than to react . russ Quote
Members HarryB Posted December 1, 2009 Members Report Posted December 1, 2009 Wow! I could say something about a fool and his money or I could tell how many of that very tool I returned because it bent, but I will just sa : WOW! Quote
Timd Posted December 1, 2009 Report Posted December 1, 2009 I've been rolling this around in my head,which is a scary place sometimes, and I think back to when I first started back after a 30 year hiatus. I googled Tandy, and that was as far as I went on the internet for quite a while. Maybe those bidders made E-bay their first stop, didn't know you could get them anywhere else, and HAD to have it. Heck, if I hadn't tripped over this place, I would probably still wandering aimlessly my self. Just my thoughts. Quote
Members sdkid Posted December 2, 2009 Members Report Posted December 2, 2009 Ebay is more or less just like any other auction. The price depends on the day of the year, and people think that just cause its an auction, it must be a deal. $75 today, and maybe $5 next week. You just never know. Quote

Suze Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Maybe it is the same guy who bought the first one? see he has to have a "backup" in case the first one breaks......
