danatureboy Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) Okay, so I'm all set to bid on this item http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=http:/...ction/g44168915 waiting for the last minute, so that no one out bids me, but like maybe 5 hours before the auction ends, the price is way too high (like 56 000 yen) which is above my max, so I figure its a done deal right? Wrong, look at the ending price, 22 500 ???!!!?? WTF is going on here?, I remember checking the bid history and there were like 4 other bidders that for sure bid over this amount? I was a little concerned, because one of he high bidders had no feedback ( but he didn't have the high bid of 56 000, someone else did, and someone was below the 56 000 bid and did have feedback). I guess, I'm just also really peeved, because it was won at such a great price, but still, It really boggles my mind? Are bids easily retractable on Yahoo Japan (ah, I changed me mind - *retract*). What's to stop people from cancelling Willy - Nilly then? What's to stop people ffrom getting a friend to push the bid ridiculously high , and then have said friend retract the bid at the last minute, making the purchase price really low. Arrrghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I really wanted that too. Edited May 16, 2006 by danatureboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rogers Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I looked at the detailed bid history and saw no retractions: http://www.rinkya.com/twview.pl?URL=http:/...4168915&typ=log It might be possible that the seller saw a bid he believed to be phony and canceled that person's bid, but it should show up in the complete bid history if that was the case.
