I am thinking this guy is going to regret not having a reserve or minimum bid. FYI, I bid more than 99 cents, nobody bid against me so he can't really say anything hahaha. Bummer I have to drive to Mi to pick it up, but hey, I like road trips.

It looks like this guy runs an ebay drop off store to auction items for people. I bet they are going to be real impressed with him.

Holy shit!!! Nice purchase Mike. When's the road trip :D

I am thinking Sunday night late. I would have to close the shop for Monday so that would be a little bit of a pain to work around. But not something I can't figure out.

Damn Mike! Nice snag! That is a money maker if nothing else!

Thats what I figured, I don't really need to know cranksafts are round with an 8 place precision ;)

I am not sure they will actually let it go for that. Have you talked o them yet?

[Raptor]

I am sure they will attempt some type of argument, however they set the minimum and put it at no reserve so it is legally binding. Since I am a nice guy, if they freak out too much about it, I will offer to sell it back to them for say $500 or so. Should be a steal for them. Otherwise, I paid for it already and informed them I would be out to pick it up Monday. I left a phone number so if they don't call me before then, they won't have a choice.

LOL, good find Mike! :D Can't wait to see how it turns out...

I did something like this a few months back. I won an auction for 99 cents on an item that was worth 100 bucks. I paid as soon as the auction ended with shipping and insurance. I made sure that they sent it. They took their sweet time with it but I got it. I ended up paying 8 dollars in shipping for a 99 cent auction. lol. Good find.
