Oh poo!

Well, we'll see how well GL customer service handles this one. I bid on an item last night and decided to up the bid to $171.00. My bid confirmation has it as $171,300.00. OH POO! I called this morning and told them I would like a bid retraction. We'll see how this goes. I might be eliminated from bidding.

All I can say is i guess you won that item. With the auto bid, it could still work out for ya.

Just go ahead and pay it!

This very same thing happened to me over a year ago. I bid $1000 on a M35A2, and it listed my bid as $10,000. I was absolutely certain that the bid I had entered was only $1000.

It took a LOT of talking to get that fixed! In the end, they did not ban me or suspend my account.

Tell Shelly it is time to sell the house

 

[gimpyrobb]

Selling the house and 2 years of pay will not cover THAT amount.

 

[grounded]

DO you REALLY want that item that bad

 

[drgreg]

Hey big spender, what d'ya get?

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nope, good luck collecting is all I can say. There is time to clear this up before the end of the auction. We shall see how good they handle this.

 

[nk14zp]

Good luck.

Now that you've all but certain won that item you have to tell us which brand of coffee maker it was.......

 

[chaplain]

Congrats on your successful bid. Steaks and Beer at Gimpyrobbs house.

$$ listing in bids

I nearly had this happen once too so now I always put 7 or 9 cents after to make sure it carries the amount correctly. Example; $127.07.
It seems easier to count the zeros when ther is an odd ball amount wtih a decimal point int there too.
My 1.8 cents worth as your milage may vary.

For almost 200k, it better be a stainless coffee maker! I knew you guys would have fun with this one. Oh wait, can't we get in trouble for talking about an auction before it ends!? MODS! MODS! Better delete the whole thread!

 

[drgreg]

I would say the auction has pretty much ended, I doubt you will be out bid.

 

[73m819]

200k is cheap for a coffee maker for the space station

 

[gimpyrobb]

I know Ron, you have to factor in the engineered gravity to keep the coffee in the pot while brewing.

 

[drgreg]

$17,130.00 buyers premium, that's alot of blasting sand.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Thats $188,430 before sales tax!

Mess up the EUC so the sale will be canceled. Even if you did put in that crazy bid the auto would stop it. No wait it was so crazy the auto bid freaked out. Hey I know a great lawyer. He took a case against ebay. He does not work anymore unless he wants to. I am sure they will fix it because it is soooo clear there was a mistake. If not a lawyer will be way cheaper. I would print out that auction page and frame it.
