Uh oh! Trademe balls up!

[ozrobo]

true you did make the bid when you realized you got it you should of told him before the auction finished and he could of changed the reserve i made the mistake once and the guy was understanding

[Winston001]

Maybe it is, but how often does the seller pull the auction before it ends? Even if its made reserve? And they advertise it as "advertised elsewhere", wonder if they were selling a car at say Turners, and half way through the auction they got up and said I've just had a text from someone that wants to buy it, I'm now withdrawing it! No difference is it?

Well actually as a seller at auction, you can do that. An auction is simply an invitation from other people for offers - until you accept an offer, there is no sale and you can withdraw at any point up until the fall of the hammer - or reserve is met in Trademe.

Throw aside htis 'legal agreement' bullshit. No one will be bothered taking you to court arguing that you have a legal agreement to complete the trade.

It's a dick thing to do, but you can pull out if you really want to with minimal repercussions. You'll get a Neutral / Negative feedback out of it maybe. I fucken hate when cunts do this to me though. Wastes my time.

[FROSTY:Me]

Kamper, Ya know really its got sweet fuck all to do with wolves or bling or the law.
It has everything to do with common human decency.
Really it is that simple.

If you do or don't carry on with the sale to me is irrelevant
What is important is you be fair and reasonable with another human being.
Either step ut to the plate and pay up or contact the guy and admit you made a mistake.

you've got the $$. you bid on the bike. you won the auction. it's yours.

[happykamper]

You bid on it - you buy it! It's not really that hard... If you want to dick around with that decision don't come posting on KB for sympathy.

You make a bad decision, well too bad for you. Life sucks, get a fucking helmet!

So what happened in the end? So far I have a feeling that the jury is leaning towards "What a dick!" So you haven't got much to loose really.

BTW - if MSTRS says the two of you had agreed upon a price then I'd be more likely to believe him than you. Nothing to do with soapboxes - only honesty mate. Enjoy the fact that you have some degree of anonymity on here and that most people won't violate that. Personally I hope he will name and shame - it's his perogative.



Ooooh, I'm sure everybody are shaking in their pants now. Have some more...

How I fucking hate campers - yes I used to play a decent amount of CS.

My, you're a friendly chap aren't you. I've got nothing to hide so if MSTRS or anyone else wants to name and shame, go ahead. Not entirely sure what I can be shamed for at this stage of my motorcycling career.

Oh aye, and if I find out who gave me the red bling I may feed the wolves and let this saga continue...

Another 230 posts and you will find out!

[happykamper]

230 posts? Naw, I might just go and cry into my milk...

I actually am a friendly fella - I just can't stand blow-hards internet toughguys and whinging whiners that's all. (H)TFU, (S)TFU or (G)TFO?

Good thing if you haven't got anything you could be shamed for...

[brendonjw]

You bid, you won, you bought, quiet simple really, pay up and

[MSTRS:Me]

Maybe. Maybe not. Hop off your soapbox there, fella... I recall you saying - and I quote "Whatever happens with this bike, don't be a stranger". I thought to myself that that's a good attitude to have. It appears that I was mistaken.

I'm not going to name and shame. Why sh/w-ould I? My post was a direct statement to HK and reflected my dealing(s) with him in person.
I meant what I said about keeping in touch etc BUT that was before I read the post that started this thread. I red blinged too...it said something about being accountable...and I meant that too. Back out of one sale, with/out a story to explain why...that's life. Do it again...well, says a lot.
Fool me once...shame on you. Fool me twice...shame on me.

I change my vote from this guys not only a timewaster but hes a first prize tosser , there were other people bidding on this auction and this prick fucked it for everyone interested , some people dont have any idea , you dont deserve the bike and stay off trademe when your pissed

[rottiguy]

I have to say you bid on it and won so you now own it. You have to be really careful at auctions and don't get caught up in the hype. Only bid what you can afford to pay otherwise you will end up in the shit, and hey presto here ya are in the stinky stuff. You will just have to pay ya money and learn from it.

[robo555]

If you tell the bidder quickly, I think he's able to offer it to the 2nd highest bidder.

[sunhuntin]

man, welcome to my blacklist! thats just plain wrong, you dont bid and then back out. i thought school holidays were over?

and as for dragging mstrs into this [over something i know nothing about], long time members here will believe mstrs ahead of some noob trying to drag him down.
