The eBay Auctions / Facebook / Gumtree / Shpock 2024 thread

Jason Catrine said:
I have said this before but to re-assure after the above shilling comments, I've bought 2 pins from this guy - definitely not the sort that wil shill bid. He's a genuinely nice guy that has an awesome collection of machines - collecting for decades. I asked him how many he had and his response was that at the max it was nearly 200. And most of his stuff was bought new or is Premium or LE. I would not hesitate to buy a third pin from him and hopefully will win one of his next auctions. 100% not a shill bid scenario though!

Just to add. I was one of the bidders up until 5500. Then I wasn’t highest bidder anymore, I was very sad and bought another pin. Couple hours later I got the message that I was highest bidder again at 5100 as somebody else cancelled their bid. At that point in time I had agreed the purchase of another pin so had to cancel as well so the highest bid fell to something like 4600. Looked quite messy from the outside I can imagine… I am glad the seller still got a decent price for it
 
Cancelled bids on ebay are a pain in the bum and need dealing with. As has happened here it makes a mockery of an auction exposing everyone else's bids. On an item on which I am currently bidding I've just had the bidder above me cancel their bid shortly after making it having first found out what my max was at the time. On the other hand, I now know what they had bid to find out as I can see the cancelled bid but it is becoming more frequent.

yes, but years ago. one was in a bit of a state (rust etc) but the others were all ok. good prices and communication all by email. i got a pallet delivered with 2 pins on it if i recall correctly, then another time i got a lovely LOTR on the cheap

EDIT: *IF* it's the same guys, which i cannot be 100% certain of. my guys used to send a monthly email with an excel file in it, others on here must remember them too

Yup, used to have access to that too until it went poof. Never used them but got close a few times. Always made sense to get two at once and it just never came together.
