So I won the auction for the US12 Unions two days ago and following 2 messages through ebay and 1 direct email I have heard nothing from the seller.

I am unsure how much he's charging me for shipping and I need him to add an amount in before I pay.

Starting to get worried. I know that if I had that much money due to me and someone begging me to pay it I would take care of business.

Thoughts? Part of me thinks he might be trying to get more money out of someone else.

I had that happen to me with some Ape Stars. Leave it a couple more days and then start to get worrried fella. Then bombard the funker with tons of spam on his e-mail.

Was there lots of interest/bids on the Unions?

I'll tell you what'll happen, he didn't get as much as he wanted for the Union's and he's gonna blat the difference onto the postage.
Tell him to go fuck himself if he really takes the piss.

[Lorrie]

he actually lowered the reserve. but if some guy who missed the auction sent him an email and offered him more, well...

[reid]

I'm not 100% sure on this but if you win an auction the seller has entered into a contract to sell to you at the price you won the auction for. If I'm wrong then would be nice to be corrected as I'm not sure on the exact terms but I'd be surprised if there was no protection against this sorta thing.

I didn't want to say anything, but you might as well here it now, directly from me.

I offered him more money for them... I offered him

ONE Million Dollars!



Just kidding, of course. I'm sure you're good, send him some more messages. When I reached out to him about the shipping on the PP's he had, he said he would need to check with the postal service but thought it may be around $35US. He said if I won, he would check with Royal mail before he invoiced me.(I didn't win the PP's by the way, this communication was before I bid)

[mr.pure]

He sounds like a reasonable man.
He's probably just busy.

[Lorrie]

I'll show him fkn busy!

Thanks for the input, fellas. I'll try to muster up some patience.

Actually, just heard from him. Laptop has gone haywire and he's at a wedding. He'll sort shipping on Monday.

5 rupees says he's a PC user and wishes he had a mac...

[mr.pure]

Don't they all ?!?

i do

[Lorrie]

chin up, Sam. Soon enough you'll be a fully employed lad who can then get himself a nice used Mac laptop for cheap. With which you will soop-hunt to your heart's content.

Oh, and now the other thing I was worried about, which turned out to be true:

All week the father in law has wanted us in for dinner as he wanted to make risotto. 'Make risotto?' i thought to myself. 'He doesn't know how to make risotto.' This isn't going to turn out well...

Yeah, Friday dinner: well done fish and stewed jasmine rice with mushrooms...and boiled carrots. Washed down with a Chardonnay and a discussion of my niece's dyslexia.

[mr.pure]

A young lady I just met is Dyslexic.

Don't think you need to worry about the seller Lorrie, I won another of his auctions and got the same story. I asked about postage to Denmark before the auction ended and he said he'd find out. Laptop story too and he said he'd find out Monday.

At least if he's lying he's using the same story...



I think he's legit though

[streak]

Maybe he should put some of the money you boys have paid him towards a new Laptop!

[Big J]

Had the same thing myself DJ/Zwer and got the same story. Was getting a bit concerned myself after I won the 35th New Yorks. Says he's posting them Monday too, sure I'll be getting them Tuesday/Wednesday.

Wanna swap 'em for the Unions Zwer?
