Fred,

No, it's true - Jimmy too, is out of room. But he has enough property that he can erect a few more buildings. I keep telling him how practical it would be to have only one brand of appliance per building.

I don't have much respect for eBay in terms of handling bad sellers or fraud. Last fall there was a Norge wringer washer posted, and I bid on. It was located just a couple of miles from me. It was a no minimum, no reserve auction and bidding was low. I was in good position to get it and the seller pulled the auction saying there weren't any serious bids. He was/is a "Power seller", and they did nothing not even a slap on the wrist.

I wouldn't have felt bad if I was outbid, I'm frequently outbid and always snipe, but at least it's my decision. I feel if you list something on eBay to sell you take your chances, if you expect a certain price then put a reserve on it.
 
I don't think the crack about Hollywood Bob was appropriate. No matter whether you like someone or not and for whatever reasons, an unethical practice was being discussed and there were no grounds to accuse someone by name.

I looked at the incremental bidding as someone who was trying to enter a bid higher than $99.99, not realizing the amount of the maximum. Maybe that is naive, but when it happens against my bid, I figure someone is trying to beat my bid by spending the least amount possible. It's not smart because if a bidder wants something, 9 times out of 10, you are not going to win it by bidding a pittance over the initial maximum. I will go in at the very end with a bid that will break their back and push each vertebra sideways out a tender place. Some of Joan's philosophy is spot on. I also did not know that the seller knew a bidder's maximum before it was reached.
 
The seller does not know a bidder's maximum bid at any point during or after the auction - that is a myth. The only exceptions would be if a bidder cancels a bid placed (this happens most often when a curious moron simply wants to know the reserve price set by the seller) and if the seller is in cahoots with someone who is placing a shill bid to raise the auction ending price. At the end of an auction, the seller only sees the maximum amount the bidder had to win the auction. If the ending price of the auction was $1215.00, the seller has no idea that the bidder may have entered any price above that amount, only what it took to win the auction. There may be a way for the seller to see the bid amount if they are cancelling a bid placed by someone, I've never had that happen in one of my auctions. I haven't experienced the shill bidding, that I know of, as a buyer but have had someone curious about the reserve and cancel a bid. Immediately reported to ebay, they keep track of a bidder's activity in such cases in the future. I think you're only allowed to cancel bids a very few times before you're kicked to the ebay curb.
 
Just So People Know

Ebay has made many changes to their systems, including the ability to retract bids.

One can no longer simply retract a bid willy-nilly, so placing a bid to suff out the reserve, then canceling that bid is no longer on, in most cases.

Also, yes as Ganksy says, sellers hever have nor never will see a buyer's highest bid, they only know what the highest winning bid was, and now because of changes to eBay's system, bidding activity in terms of who bid what.

MAYTAG COMBO

Hi Everyone,
Well, as you know I purchased the Maytag Combo, I wanted you all to know how much I appreciate the emails and messages about my recent purchases, I had set aside $5000.00 just after the 2005 Convention in Omaha for specifically these items, (if they ever came available) they did and I spent, I'll be talking with Jerry about the Combo later tonight, Plans are certain for DuoImatic pick up Wednesday in Waterford. I have a video/digital camera going with me and I plan on posting soon.
Thank you again
Kim
 
It's funny, I asked the seller for additional pictures of the machine and got none - if you have more, please post them. I'm sure everyone would like to see them. The seller did tell me that there were no more parts around in the shop for this combo, which is the usual response I've found from most Maytag dealers...

The seal doesn't look too bad and the overall condition looked to be pretty nice - - but remember, Maytag didn't have a recall/buyback on these because of problematic paint ;-)
