bandit Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well, just when I thought eBay couldn't make people act worse on auctions, this happens... How could that happen ? even if you made a low offer how can they say no more offer's at all ? did you send him any email or anything that could lead to this ?

Same shit happened to me couple days ago. Thought it was kind of stupid on the sellers part(if the seller did it) I did place a "low" offer and was waiting for a counteroffer to give us a working point.

fibrewire Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well, one thing's for sure... *SLAP IN THE FACE* That will teach me to buy people's stuff! Who do I think I am, trying to pay money for things! Maybe I should send an eBay information request, and just go rob the guy's house of his Atari stuff, and leave $50 on the counter...

kheffington Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Why the hell would any seller do that? The make an offer allows the seller to put in a price that offers are automatically rejected if they are below it. It also allows to automatically accept above an offer level. No work to do eBay rejects for you. How did he do that anyway, must have put you on the blocked bidder list or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havok69 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Another moron who thinks his trash is treasure. Just look at some of his other auctions. I don't even want an 800, but I'm tempted to offer $51... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Stephen Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Well, just when I thought eBay couldn't make people act worse on auctions, this happens... I just offered $1.00 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kheffington Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 You think he would have at least brushed off some of the dust from the keyboard and cleaned the outside of it. And where is he getting that could be under 80 of them as it is Atari 800 number 82. All I see is regular serial number and the 154 on the other label that may mean 15th weelk of 1984. Anyway offered him $2 for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
