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! Disclaimer: chrsb is a amateur coin collector, ebay seller, buyer, looker, checker outer. His opinions are worth a little less than what you paid for them. He has been known to drink and post, sometimes a lot. Nothing he post should be construed as fact or fiction and caution should be taken when reading one of his post. Most of us are adults and are able to form our own opinions based on facts and should not look to others to make them for us. As in investing and anything else "Do you own DD (due diligence)!

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

Those were some good ones!
Greyhav,
I was thinking 100 times more than what you paid for them but did not want to seem greedy or arrogant!

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! |

Sorry about that tights
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:
His opinions are worth a little less than what you paid for them
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..... |
