^ I followed that thread, but for some reason couldn't find it searching on "7" or "seven".

This listing has reminded me why I hate using ebay. The guy who was leading this at $400 from day one decides to retract his bid just over 12 hours before the auction ends. Now I have had people messaging me saying that they are going to report the retraction as "blatant shill bidding". This isn't even worth the headache if it was my note, nevertheless someone elses. |

That's definitely one of the major downfalls to ebay. I still think the note will hit the $400-$500 mark, before the end of the listing. |

Wow, I was expecting it to jump in the end.
Sold for $330 (About $295 after fees).

A polymer note with a fold is almost impossible to repair, like most bills condition is everything for pricing.

Repair is the wrong term, some regular almost unc were placed in books or other heavy items to press them flat

Especially on older series, when you press a note it flattens the embossing. Most experienced collectors are able to notice this.

Accordint to ebay rules: Under what conditions can I retract a bid? Whether you can retract a bid depends on the circumstances and timing of the bid. You can retract a bid for the following reasons: You accidentally entered the wrong bid amount due to a typographical error. For example, you bid $99.50 instead of $9.95. If this happens, you need to reenter the correct bid amount right away. Changing your mind does not qualify as accidentally entering a wrong bid amount. The item's description changed significantly after you entered your last bid. For example, the seller updated details about the item's features or condition. You can't reach the seller by telephone or email. What if I can't retract a bid? If you can't retract a bid, you can contact the seller to request that your bid be canceled. The decision to cancel a bid is up to the seller. ---- So it seems that you accepted it right? |

There is no accepting a bid retraction, you simply tell ebay that you entered the wrong amount, they allow the retraction, and you are supposed to re-enter your bid immediately afterwards (not enforced). I believe the bill was at $100 when he placed his $400 bid, so it's not as if he made a typo and meant $40. The only reasonable typos are $300 and $500. $500 doesn't make sense for a retraction, so barring a response from him as to why, I'll have to assume it was a $300 typo. Albeit, I don't believe that, and I think he just changed his mind, or wanted to mess with the auction for some reason. |

It happens from time to time, usually on higher priced items.

Ever since ebay has been hiding the bidder id's, it's more difficult to identify shill bidding..... |
