By screwed I mean this. I'm bidding on some wheels and winter tires for my Grand Am GT. Very nice entering bid. Personnaly, when I put something on Ebay, I either do an auction with the reserve option (reserve not met til my amount is reached) or either I simply start the auction with my minimal amount from which I wanna start. Pretty simple and fair.
Now IMO I'm getting screwed but I know a lot of people do this. Bidding on your personnal auction with another account. Then you only have a few dollars to pay for the final value of the auction and you keep your stuff. I'm sure some of you have done this and I think it's bs. I mean follow the damn rules.
The thing about this auction is that the seller doenst offer shipping so pick-up only. The guy is near Toronto so all the americans are pretty much out of the map for this one. And today I got some email stating that I've been outbid and I go look and the other bidder has 0 feedback and his from Ontario...How odd. I'm sure this is the same guy.
Anyway, just ranting here. I really wanted that deal but I'm not gonna make that bastard's day by playing his little game.
