Just a heads up.... I believe this thread has pretty much run it's course and I'm pretty sure I'm going to lock it up later on tonight. So let's make any final comments.
My final comment regarding this matter is, if vette1986 is not engaged in shill bidding, I will be the first to apologize for my mistaken impression of the bidding pattern(s) previously noted, and I'm sure that I will be joined by others. |

Boy I wish you would have said that two pages ago. What a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo when the advice given was to just be careful in what you say.  Guess I should have started reading at page 4. Surprised it wasn't locked 15 posts ago actually.... |

Actually tights, it wasn't legal mumbo jumbo, it was "legalistic" mumbo jumbo. Also known as pseudo-woodo-voodoo-mumbo-jumbo. And you are correct that for most people the legal distinctions aren't important and the golden rule is probably the best law to follow. I actually enjoy the technical aspects of business law and am glad I purchased a copy of West's a couple of years ago. With a couple of good coin magazines, a sudoku book, and West's Business Law, I could live in my bathroom.  |

Certainly not insinuating it wasn't a legally enlightening adventure. I think your warnings were justification enough especially when you're talking from first hand knowledge. I just got tired of the "heated discussion" on what is and what isn't.
Bottom line, in today's age of sue happy folks, and a site as large as this community, it's always best to err on the side of caution in my opinion.

Sorry about that tights, the big post was really meant as a response to the poster who placed my comments in quotes and then proceeded to tell everyone what I was really talking about and that my post was not to be "believed." I apologize for being a: long-winded, b: legalistic, and c: unbelievable.

I will be the first in line with the apologies if he is not engaged in shill bidding(because in my opinion it is possible). We will never know if he was or is engaged because I doubt ebay will shut him down. Either way the reason for starting this thread was to show people that a little research will go a long way. We need to watch out for ourselves when bidding on ebay, like the saying goes "A fool is soon parted from his money" or something along those lines!

Chrsb, don't sell yourself short. Your opinions are easily worth twice what we paid for them.

One quick thought on perception- I know sometimes when I am scanning auctions on ebay I look for number of bids. If an item has a large number of bids I usually take a look to see what the fuss is about. It is kinda like searching by the number of watchers. I noticed the second bidder I posted never won any auctions only bid the first .99 or 1.99. I guess you could look at it like advertising but it is still wrong. I am sure somewhere there was a study done on online auctions, what makes people bid. If a auction has a large number of bids, then it could be said that the item is a bargain, authentic, or whatever goes through peoples minds. Therefore an auction with no bids is not a bargain, overpriced, not authentic or whatever reasons people have. Disclaimer: The above poster is not a professor, teacher or is capable of teaching 2 year old anything. He can barely type and think at the same time. His opinions are not based on any study, poll, or anything with merit and is merely stating his thoughts. He probably was under the influence when posting this or was thinking of something that had nothing to do with this topic. You should just ignore the above post realize you just wasted 2 minutes of your life reading this, and don't ever think about how much bandwidth he has wasted in his lifetime it is just not worth it! |

No no no, don't apologize. It was meant in jest and a sigh of relief when I got done with the thread is all. quote:

So, If I am interpreting this right, since I paid nothing to read your opinion, and it is worth less than that, then in essence you owe us money for even posting your opinion. PM me and I will give you my Paypal address to deposit money to.  Ok, sorry for the off topic attempt at humor..... |
