Saw a similar item last week and bid. The item has
not yet reached my maximum bid with 1` day to go. I
have just realised that this is the same item..sold by
the winner of the last bid. The photos, and
description, have just been lifted from the previous
auction ( as it is the same item being resold) I smell
a rat and want to retract my bid...where do I stand?
John, I'm not sure exactly how to handle it from the standpoint of
retracting the bid. I've done it a time or two, however as I recall it had
something
to do with leaving out a decimal point. That being said, I probably wouldn't
assume there is a rodent making its nest on this auction. I might email the
seller and say something like, "I'm interested in your auction and notice that
the item and the pictures are the same as those from auction # XXXwhatever,
which you won on Jan XXX. Was there something wrong with the items that now
has you selling it? I would appreciate a timely response." I'd also check
the feed back the original seller both gave and received on the auction and as
always, I'd look at this sellers feedback. Does he give any kind of
guarantee/return options? Bill Barber
