"Sir, this is GL. We posted the wrong pics and description. The 5 ton you paid $10,000 for is actually a Ford Escort painted green. We're sorry for the mix up."
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
If they wanted them, they should have bid like they wanted them! It's only money!
Why boycott them? They didn't do anything underhanded at all. They simply contacted him with a business offer.Whats the name of this company so we know who not to buy from and let them get stuck with thier 2 lots for awhile. Im guessing when they asked if you wanted to buy their lots they weren't offering them up at the minimum bid price?
I have to agree with Chief but if GL allows the practice it could open the door up to abuse. The real question is, is the seller in bed with GL? Most auction compaines highly frown on deals going on on their items withoutout them being involved ( getting their commision). At the local live auctions around here it will get you banned if you get caught. That's why I'm suprised GL is allowing this practice. Could be a big time buyer I guess and they accommodate them because they spend alot of money with them.
You know GL "courts" the big time buyers. I often wonder what kind of inside info they get that us common folks never know about.
Do you have a contact name from the Email? I'm wondering who to contact within GL, when I loose and want to make an offer to the winner, after the auction ends.
Maybe we can all try this for a while!
If they do it for them, they should do it for us?
Maybe the contact will be a Manager in the Shill Bidding dept...
