I believe Ryan made a pricing error. SamSho V alone sells for up 300 USD.

Looks like he honored the auction....what a guy.

BIG BEAR · Jan 20, 2005

Maybe they're X-BLUR Romz or something... you never know these days... J/K

What a lucky buyer

Insaneclown · Jan 20, 2005

*Sniff...Sniff*

I missed out.

Vincere · Jan 20, 2005

Goddamn shit, it's the most ridiculous auction I've ever seen.

The winner bought it only 1 hour after the auction was set. Not surprising when you see the bargain. Even if I didn't wish them all at once, I'd have taken this pack for this incredible price.

Sometimes I wish I could watch ebay like Sauron's eye on the Middle Earth...

Mystic_flame · Jan 20, 2005

I'm glad everyone loves a happy ending.

FUCK THAT PRINCE! That whore didnt deserve the princess.

Everyone finds a good deal sometimes. Or you can make yourself feel better by sending the buyer death threats *LOL*

If it was a pricing mistake, I think I would have to accept the -1 hit on my feedback.

You'd violate a contract on the basis that you fucked up?

I'm sure if the tables were turned, you wouldn't be happy about it.

How many times have you gotten a deal that maybe you shouldn't have but just took it and ran?

Think about it.. if you fuck up, it's on you.. you entered into a selling contract. Be a man and eat it.

Um.....Nah. That auction right there is a loss of well over $500. That would be way to much for most to swallow. I would understand if the seller couldn't follow through. If I were Ryan I would just give the guy some free store credit.

Yea I'm sure you would have honored that price. :kekeke:

If I saw that I sure as hell would have bid on it, knowing it was likely too good to be true. And if the seller told me it was a mistake and wouldn't sell it at that price, oh well who gives a shit.

You want an insane deal, go to a flea market and hope.

That has happened to me more than once and I've been cool about it. In fact, something along these lines happened to me with regards to a board member. I honored it.

Hey, Ryan fucked up.. what do you want me to say? He's an honorable seller for that. I give him credit.

I guess it's better to go to a flea market and fleece someone you don't know, though.... ?

Exactly, in this case, if it was endeed a mistake, business come first.

galfordo · Jan 20, 2005

That's bizarre. Personally I wouldn't feel right about backing out of an auction where I made the mistake, but I could certainly understand in a case like this. Anyway, that's strange that Ryan would make a mistake like that - he seems to be a pretty meticulous guy.

Like I said before..

Selling something at auction on ebay is a binding contract.

If your business has integrity, you honor that contract, regardless of whether or not you screwed up.

I'm sure many of you have gotten "deals" that if the seller knew about what they had, they would've spit in your face. It's good for you when you pick it up, but not when it's you taking the hit.

He chose to honor this contract regardless of financials. For all these people who say the Neo is not abot $$$ or whatever... and the BS that passes for "doing right by the community" etc... you change your tune for something like this.

You'll lambast people for shill bidding and other questionable(but legal) tactics, but when it comes to having your feet held to the fire on a LEGAL sale... all bets are off.

Think about your hypocrisy.

If it's a mistake of a smaller value, no problem. But hundreds of dollars, you would need to get your head checked to honor that mistake. Much like I needed my head checked for picking the Vikings over the Eagles. :kekeke:

Unless you're filthy rich, then shit, I'd be throwing homecarts at people trying to knock them out.

johnno15 · Jan 20, 2005

lucky bastard well done to Ryan for honouring the contract :buttrock:

drone9 · Jan 20, 2005

Liquid Snake · Jan 20, 2005
