Collector's Corner: Prestige on Ebay

Post by Robert Weck »

Hi friends,


look at this cancelled auction (especially on the reason, why it was cancelled):

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %26fvi%3D1


today if found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %26fvi%3D1

The lost or broken Prestige is back! :evil:

It looks to me, that the seller got some offers, to sell directly; this showed him, that he had a valuable piece of chess computer! And so he decided to go for a high Buy-it-now.

Bad luck for the guys, who made him these offers...


best regards,
Robert

good observation Robert!

even though the seller has 47 completed auctions he is only a member since this year

dealing with sellers like this is always very risky business
even if this auction is allowed to end normally
the computer can arrive defective and there will be problems with a man like this who has little or no honor to his name

Bottom Feeder Regards

Hi,

i think like Robert. :wink:

But i wonder why only two guys offer a price for that auction?

In my database is one prestige, too, that was aborted - but not in germany :twisted:

Watching Regards José

hI Jose
i think there is only one offer because many people dont want to make an offer to someone who is asking a ridiculous price for the computer

i do not like it when someone offers a computer for an absurd price and i think that other people do not want to make offers to someone like this who will only reject the offer

Disgusted Regards

Hi Steve,

i do not know if you remember, but the same seller has sold in 15. Jan 2006 a CC1 for approx. 1100 Euro. See my website ID 1

I think he want to repeat that most expensive auction.

We will observe that auction Regards José
