Subject: [meteorite-list] More eBay cancelled auctions
Hello everyone,
I've just had an auction I was bidding on cancelled a few hours before it
was to close.
eBay seller pat31416 (name on a shown label Pat Mulvany) had listed two
small fragments of meteorite oxide from the Lanton meteorite. The auctions
were listed with starting bids of $.99. (note: he is NOT a member of the
IMCA.)
A few hours before the auctions were to close at about 7PM Saturday
evening, they were both cancelled. The one I was bidding on still had a
high bid showing of $.99; there was no bid on the other auction.
A few hours after they were cancelled, both were re-listed and this time
with a starting bid of $10.00 (one of the item numbers is 330356143296)
As I remember from an earlier thread, FleaBay does not care if a seller
breaks his/her implied contract by cancelling an auction (I could be
wrong). I definitely can NOT prove it, but by circumstantial evidence, it
*appears* that Mr. Mulvany did not want to sell a specimen for just $.99
so he just cancelled the auction(s).
Even though my high bid on the earlier item was higher than the new
starting price, I choose NOT to deal with this seller and will not bid on
these items or any others of his.
