Here is the link to the auction. I've been watching it since it went up....and I'm not sure how I feel about that threat....one on hand it's clever, but on the other not very "auction" like.






eBay Auction -- Item Number: 320503251713


I think it was listed at 19.99, but I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone else been watching, and what do you make of the threat? simply a way to get some action going?

Do you have the link right? I'm not seeing anything.

It may have gotten yanked by EBay due to the 'threat'. What was it, anyway? :?

I just re-edited the link, it didn't work the first (dunno why)

Start bidding or I'll raise the price? Hmmm... interesting tactic. There's no doubt that eBay is full of flakes these days, but everybody is feeling the sting of stupidity. It's all around us - as buyers AND sellers. Just can't seem to get a break from 'em these days. A lot of people are simply fed up with the way things are today. Lots of people out there not knowing how to effectively or gracefully handle pressure. Not saying this seller is perfectly in the right, but I bet he's disgusted with dealing with eBay and their clientele as of late - and rightfully so.

I think he's just got a sense of humor.
