Hey there:

I've tried to find your auction -- only a few tries, admittedly, but I haven't found it yet.

Can you post a link, or your email address, or your Ebay Seller ID?

Thanks,
Dan

PS I will second the advice given above (by kaladorn?): you would make far more money if you broke these up into even the units that you listed them here on this thread. If you did them in even smaller units => more money. JCollis98 who had the amazing auction just a few weeks ago made tons of money because he listed them singly, so people could target items. The "Huge Lot" style always go for far less than they're worth. They're how the resellers make money!

 

[trader jim]

Come on, now folks you just gotta check out this auction!!!...I only have one (1) bid on it price is just right for all this good material!!!!...
look it over and BID, BID, BID!!!!!

I agree with Kaladorn: you'd do better to split the auction up. Also, ebay takes a bit of money and time, but you have a larger audience there than here. Finally, you'd probably get more bidders if you answer questions and come across a bit more professionally (with respect to the auction).

Folks it now does not matter what I should have done. I have one bid at $401.00. I am a man of my WORD!!! If his bid stands till Sunday, he gets it ALL!! He can do with it what he wants, it will be his!!
So i dont need any advice and i am not interested in any advice concerning this auction.
MY LOSS HIS GAIN.

so if any one is interested they better start bidding soon!!!

Okay...I finally figured out that you're running this "auction" here, on CotI, and not on Ebay.

Three questions:

(1) Is the King Richard set complete? That is, does it have 21 sheets, and is the envelope or whatever package it came in intact? What's the condition?

(2) You've said you will accept payment by money order only. But what about protection for the buyer? Escrow? This is a lot of money we're talking about here...

(3) How are you doing the auction itself, technically speaking? Is it like Ebay, but you're going to manage the bids, so we should send them privately to you? Or I could bid publicly, right here, and people would know what my max is, or...?

Okay, four questions: do you want private messages or email or...?

Thanks,
Dan

 

[trader jim]

I have to go to work now. i will answer questions when i get home. about 2 0r 3 am pacific time.

thanx JIM

 

[dancha]

Great -- so here's some clarifying info on one of my questions.

In Ebay, if there's only one bidder, he pays the minimum/starting bid price.

If there are two bidders, the winner pays what the second-highest person bid, not what the highest-bidding person (the winner, of course) bid.

This style of auction has a "technical" name, in the field of economics, but I can't remember what it is.

Example: for an auction that starts with $5, and I bid $6, and no one else bids, then I get it for $5. If Anne comes along and bids $8, then she gets it for $6 (or, with Ebay, $6.25).

What's the case here?

 

[dancha]

Good morning, me again:

Do you have an Ebay Seller ID? I'd like to look at your feedback history there.

Mine is "dancbay."

I'm thinking about bidding, you see...

Thanks,
Dan

 

[trader jim]

The King Richard Plans Are MINT, Clean, Crisp< NEW unmarked and all there.

I gruess this is not a real type auction, I must have used the wrong term. I am trying to SELL this group of books to the person who will pay the most money.

There will be NO ESCROW, I Will NOT get involved in THAT MESS!!!!

To Protect your money, Buy a U.S. POSTAL MONEY ORDER for payment. IF a person would try to rip you off, it is a FELONY
Send your FEDERAL MONEY ORDER Return Receipt Requested, the person has to sign for it, thats the PROOF he got it. He he takes the money and doesnt sent the items, thats theft and because it FEDERAL MONEY order thats a FELONY. you would be charged with other FELONYS also, like MAIL FRAUD,
Stealing U.S. FUNDS, Stealing from the POST OFFICE,
INTERSTATE MAIL FRAUD, plus any thing else the government can come up with.
when they get you....you go to JAIL!!! I thought every one knew this, federal money orders are the ONLY thing I use on e-bay for payment

 

[trader jim]

My e-bay seller I.D. is Doodle-man58

 

[dancha]

Thank you.

Can you clarify "Sunday night" -- Sunday, March 21 11:59:59PM -- in what timezone?

Would you be willing to weigh the material soon, so we can get an idea of what S&H will be? (I suppose a related question would be: _where_ are you? Just a ZIP code or city/state would be great.)

Thanks,
Dan

 

[trader jim]

Thats Right...this Sale ends at 11:59 PM Sun Nite/mon morn. Pacific Time

 

[dancha]

Good morning:

(1) Do you have a weight on all the stuff, so I/we can estimate shipping costs?

(2) Who placed the starting bid -- is he or she a member of CotI? It seems everyone would benefit if the "bidding" was open and transparent.

Thanks,
Dan

 

[trader jim]

Hi - Yes the bidder I have is a member of COTI of
the BOards!!...Illhave to get a hold of him to see if he wants to allow his name posted.


No I have not weighed it all. Tell you what, send me 20.00 dollars extra and Ill make up the difference in postage or send you back any money left over??? hows that for a Deal??

jim

 

[trader jim]

The high bidder in this sale/auction does NOT wish to give out his name.

 

[dancha]

Good afternoon:

Well, that's his call -- but an open and transparent process would make at least me feel more at ease.

I will bid $415.

BTW -- yes, thanks very much for your truly generous S&H offer.

Thanks,
Dan
