[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 372841, member: 6563"] I think the seller got less than 10% of the true value here. And someone just got three holy grail pieces for a once in a lifetime price. But all's fair in love and war. You put something up with a buy it now, particularly when you're talking a month's salary for three toy figures, then I don't see it as the duty of anyone to step in and say "hey, do you know what these are REALLY worth?" Similarly, to a certain extent, with people accepting an offer to end an auction early; don't tell me there isn't an element of greed involved in the belief they're saving 15% in fees. I know, I've ended sales early in the past and on reflection I don't think I've done well in any single one of them! Once I sold 4 X 2000AD pages of art (that I'd paid £10 a page for about 8 years earlier) for £60 a page. Immediately after ending the auction I learnt it was worth £180-£200 a page. OK, so the buyer wasn't on my Christmas list but I only had myself to blame. That said, disgustingly low offers to uninformed folk or non-collectors is nowt short of fraud. It's a fine line. The most bizarre thing about that is a disappointed bidder guessed who the buyer was and got in touch with him to express his displeasure. A week later, out of the blue a cheque from the buyer for an extra £100 landed on my door mat. I hadn't spoken to the buyer since he bought the art. Bloody eBay :lol: [/QUOTE]
