    Did you tell him that you would alert the media with the breaking news?

    I think he is trying to imply that you are in cahoots with the NR bidder, shill bidding.

    I don't know why folks can't figure out we all start with zero transactions.

    When I bought my first thing here on GB, I got a note from the seller saying that he saw that I was a first time buyer, so if I had any questions or anything, just be sure to ask him.

    I was so offended that I have bought a couple more things from him, just because he was nice about it. [8D]

    Well... the unhappy bidder is right on this one. Ain't it just like a seller to be prejudiced in favor of bidders with more money!?

    It's a conspiracy I tell ya! A CONSPIRACY!

    I didn't know you could complain if you got out bid by a first time buyer. Happened to me on Tuesday. Do I get another chance if I email the seller? Just cause he was willing to bid more is no reason to sell to him. I want a do over.

    Yeah....I get those emails. It is funny because it will happen on day three of a ten day auction. The bidders who are really interested in buying the gun don't show up until the last day.....and they are complaining about being outbid on day three???

    Of all the emails I have gotten the latest one was the funniest...."I accidentally bid $53 instead of .53 cents, can you fix my bid?" Hilarious!!!!

    I have bid on dozens of your auctions. I won two. Where do I file an official complaint about people outbidding me on the other auctions? [;)]

    Why even waste your time replying to that?

    Anyone who sends such isn't going to be made happy no matter what your response.

    I would never bid with no previous transactions.

    Back when I was younger and less responsible, David, I may have attempted such a thing. Would not think of doing it now.

    Your statement implies that you would not bid if YOU had no previous transactions. That's why I asked what I asked.

    As a seller, I have had trouble out of NR bidders, but I have had just as much trouble from bidders with numerous A+ feedback entries.

    Correct on the first count, David, and I agree 100% on the second.

    I reckon it's a might bit tougher to do it now anyway.

    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Don- that is a serious condition to have. My grandfather died of that when he was a small boy. Be careful with that.

    Same deal here only worse. Have bid on numerous Locust Fork auctions, never a single win.

    GB desperately needs an option to complain about sellers. Call it the "Non-Winning Bidder Report" button.
