Contacting the Next Bidder in Line?

Geese Howard

If a buyer of an auction jumps ship and can't buy the item he won, what can I do to contact the next bidder for him to purchase the item at his bid? I notice the names are listed in the bid history but NOT the links to contact them.

Thanks

That is not possible in the GB system that I have found.
It would bypass the GB fees.

They used to be there, but are no longer because too many were circumventing the auctions. Re-list.

Can I relist Immediately if we both have agreed that he cannot pay or must I wait for 10 days?

you have to go thru the formality gb has written. follow the procedure and relist.

or you could try to get him to come to you by posting a thread here saying"attention______ please respond" and if he contacts you go from there. if you tell gunbroker what you did and how much you sold it for they will charge you for it.

another way is to relist the item w/o a description and just say "____ , please contact me and explain the situation and he will contact you. just be sure to put a high reserve on it and start it for $1 and that will get his attention.
