As you guys know, I have to drastically reduce my
collection to pay medical bills, and I currently
have 2 cels on Ebay. Someone has written to me
asking to end one of the auctions early if they
make the high bid now, and beat my reserve. I'm
not quite sure what to do. I don't want to piss
this person off, but I also don't want to piss off
anyone who may be waiting to place their bid (the
auction still has 5 1/2 days). Also, since I
don't really want to sell these cels in the first
place, and I *really* need as much money as I can
get, I feel like I owe it to myself to let the
bidding go as high as it can. If this person
makes and keeps the high bid above the reserve
their obligated to buy it by Ebay rules, but they
could leave me nasty feedback - which could ruin
my chances if I have any other cels I need to
auction (and judging by my bills, all of my cels
may need to go).
So.... Have any of you closed auctions early? Or
had them closed for you? Or had them closed for
someone else before you could bid? Or anyone just
have an opinion they'd like to share - I really
would appreciate any responses. My feelings in a
nutshell are that I need as much money as I can
get, but not at the cost of getting negative
feedback as a seller.
Thanks,
Az, who hates to have to sell these at all!! |
