I'm sure it's happened to all of us at one time or another,but I just noticed this dude who was selling a bunch of boards on ebay just up and cancels all the bids(including mine of course) on his Darkstalker boards and ends the auctions early.....with less than 24 hours left to go on them nonetheless.(Didn't think that was allowed.)That's some shady ass bullshit!

Reason listed for the cancelled auctions says they are no longer for sale,yet in the auction descriptions it says he's unemployed and needs the money so everything must go.....yeeeah...must really be hurtin' pal.

Only other thing I can think of is he ended up selling them to someone under the table,which if it's true would be extreme bullshit.This is more a venting type thing than anything,albeit ebay related...but I was really wanting the Night Warriors Darkstalkers Revenge and Vampire Saviour blue CPS2 boards damn it.
 
eblow

no it is bs. ebay is letting a lot of stuff go on that used to not be allowed. some of the stuff is just goofy. lets say you agree to buy something and you get to pick it up. instead of that new camera. its a scsi scanner from 1988. you say this isn't what was listed and leae. they leave you a neg. you can not post one for the seller as a neg saying not as described etc...
ebay has become a harbor for the seller and no longer does much of anything for buyers.... it was a matter of time allow shill bidding hiding bidder ids to help cover it so they get their money etc... they pull this crap now after yahoo got rid of their auction area etc.. pretty shady fleabay is now.

No lie there

Unbelievable how much shit you can get away with now.I don't so much mind the hidden IDs as occasionally I'd find myself in a bidding war back in the day with some douchebag who in spite and/or frustration would just type in my ID,see what all I was bidding on,and jack up all the auctions I was bidding on to my max bids....which of course I was overjoyed with.It does allow for easier shill bidding,although you can still usually figure out what's going on even with the disguised IDs.

It is good for buyers in the fact that you can get some good deals,as sellers flood the market with so much crap,making the demand for a lot of it extremely low....but bad if you aren't a super seller,since the stuff you're trying to sell is being sold by half the members on ebay and extremely devalued.So it's kind of a mixed bag in my opinion.I've started looking at stuff elsewhere,not that those places are much better.
 
Oh well

No big deal,I've moved on to other things.I'll find those boards again eventually.Either on ebay,CL,or even from another KLOV member.
 
I've got a Night Warriors: Dark Stalker's Revenge blue board. It is mostly working but has an occasionally and intermittent graphic glitch. I'm pretty sure it's just a connection issue as it seems to come and go as I press on the board. Let me know if you're interested.

And this is why....

And this is why I LOVE this group and the people in it.
you guys AND gals, are a hell of a group to see this come up
that they got beat out on something and here are two of you offering.
BRAVO!..
=-)
 
I agree whole heartedly!

The people on these forums are amazing! I have gotten so much help,whether it is with general questions,or help finding items I'm looking for,I am sure as hell glad I got on this forum! I will try my best to be as helpful as I can like so many on this site.You guys rock!
 
Places and people like you find here are why I have only used ebay ONCE in the last year and that was a crappy experience :( I'm done with ebay forever, not so much because of ebay's practices but so much more because the people are so goofy.

Same thing happened to me.:( Ebay is just going down the toilet. Craigslist is the only place I can really find games on now.
 
Ive got a guy close to me here that sells a lot of stuff on eBay, and I buy a lot from him because (1) hes close enough that I can pick up and not worry about freight shipping, (2) pretty accurate descriptions, (3) I like the guy.

Damn problem is, he'll end an auction in a heartbeat if he gets an offer he likes. Hes ended a dozen on me, be in a bidding war with someone else, and look up and the item is no longer available. Pulled my hair out several times over that:(
 
Yeah,that is BS.I've been using CL more and more.It seems people on CL are more eager to just be rid of their item as opposed to ebay,which are full of overpriced stuff that people are just trying to get suckers to buy.Just search on ebay and see how many arcade games you see on there priced for more than a grand..or even 2k.What the hell? Like anyone's going to buy that.And it can't be cheap listing and relisting it over and over.
