I have made many sales and all have been simple and good. An item I just sold went to a buyer with (B) rating of 77%. The Email address he provided came back as no good. What do I do now? Do I wait say 24 hrs or longer to see if they contact me? Do I contact GB? Unless it is not allowed I am going to offer it to the next highest bidder at their bid price, $1 less then what it was won for. Thanks for the help, this is a new on for me.

    Auction question.

    I may have posted this in the past, but why would this seller not offer an inspection period or warranty when he clearly says its NIB. Even the rifle I have for sale, I still offer a 3 day inspection (minus shipping of course).

    Last night I made a low bid on a rifle I wouldn't mind owning. When I placed my bid the you have been out bid message popped up. OK. No problem. I bid on another rifle. Same you have been outbid message pops up. So I log off and go to bed. This morning I fire up ol computer to check my Emails. Find out I am high bidder on the two rifles I bid on, both of which said I was out bid.

    This is not a complaint, this is a question. I got the money in my gun buying stash (that wife doesn't know about[:D]) to easily cover these two rifles should I end up high bidder. I'm just wondering how I can not be high bidder than be high bidder.

    Also glad that I didn't bid three or four more times under the same conditions. If I was high bidder on five or six rifles thinking I wasn't on any rifles I could be a little nervous right now. I don't think the gun buying stash could stretch that far.

    Either a bug, or possibly the bidder that outbid you was on the sellers no-no list and got his bid removed/deleted

    Man, I can see where that would really screw somebody up. Is there a way to correct such happenings ? Glad it did'nt happen to me or I'd be raising cane [:)]

    I never heard of or saw any such. Please send the auction numbers to Support and let one of the geeks have a look.
