Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1

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!

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

Raptor 05-13-2005 08:54 PM

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
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.

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.

You can do a "no reserve" auction, just make your starting price your reserve price.

I'll be interested to see how this actually turns out. My guess is they'll put a huge fight! Too bad you couldn't pay in person with pennies!

Well, I figured out how Mike makes his money. He is a drug dealer! This "car shop" thing is just a hoax! Check out his other Ebay auction that he won.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=7503870361

Who else besides a drug dealer would need a portable scale?? Alright Mike, fess up!


The fine print: This is of course just in good humor for those of you stupid enough to actually think I was serious.

LMFAO nice find Jet! But i dont think mike is trying to sell drugs, hes just trying to weigh himself and no regular scales can read that low. LOL

No it's so he knows who to kill when his 1/2 lb of sticky icky comes up .5 of a gram short

Raptor 05-14-2005 11:49 AM

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
You guys are pretty funny..... But looks aren't everything ;) The scale is for minor modifications made here and there that yes I will say need to be measured to under a gram hahaha. I take weight reduction a bit too serious, but nobody should be surprised by that. I suppose when I run out of engines to build it will be an aid in my future crack dealing business. I am also going to pimp out AJ if anyone is interested in resting their nuts on his skinny white chin.

Thats pretty bad, I disgusted myself with that comment. I retract that AJ thing.

Isnt his Ebay name "by-his-stripes"?

Yep, dust off your Bible and you'll see my point.

Steve is correct.

And yes I am probably the worst Christian on the planet. I should read Ephesians at least twice a day and I might remember to keep my mouth/keyboard in check. Good thing I also believe Romans 3:20-26 ;)

tpunx99GSX 05-14-2005 04:00 PM

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
Shouldnt your name be With-His-Stripes raptor?
Yeah i did a search and its quoted differently in about 5 different ways. One says "and with his stripes we will be healed" the other commen version is "and with his wounds we will be healed." No wonder im not a good religious believer, no one can get their facts straight. LOL

Raptor 05-14-2005 04:08 PM

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
It is all the same meaning, different versions from different era's in time.

no no, he has a band of roommates that rob moving semi's of VCR's and dvd players. i hear there's good monies in that.

that web site said serious bidders only and make reasonable offers. i wonder what will happen? it's so funny that someone could make a $13,999.01 mistake.

Raptor 05-14-2005 05:26 PM

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
Sad thing is, I could have put my max bid at 20K and I still would have won it for 99 cents. I am pretty sure he can't say anything about that. No competition is what kept the price where it was, not a lack of a serious offer. That and a no reserve/low initial bid mistake on his part.

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
I hope you get what you deserve. People are idiots, but then they always try to get the law on their side. You bid on their mistake and you won, it's cut and dry if you ask me.

FattyBoomBatty 05-15-2005 06:08 PM

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.
 
so, how's this going?

Raptor 05-15-2005 07:12 PM

Won't know for sure till the guy is back in his shop on Monday. I am calling him then.

Well, he didn't respond to my request that he call me so I will call him in the morning. I have his number. We will see what happens.
