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.

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.

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.

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.

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.

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.

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.

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!

Re: Check out my 99Cent ebay purchase.

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.
