I'll tell you a tales of
MR.G ... This is a work of
fiction; any resemblance is purely coincidental!
This is what 'MR.G ' said ...
QUOTE(MR. G @ Feb 15 2012, 22:52)
As we can see,some items(E01,S01) have suffered from some abnormalities during the last few days,so I believe that I should have the right to decide whether or not to withdraw them.I will give the answer in last 30 minutes.Of course,you can bid them now.
The only real '
Abnormalities' here is that '
Y U PEOPLE NO BID MOAR!?' for the items (E01) and (S01) that he expect to sell for more than how much people have been bidding up to that point.
He then try to make an excuses to cancel the (public) auction; effectively wasting everyone time in a rigged auction ...
But of course, not after before a last ditch at spewing the '
BUY NOW, LIMITED TIME OFFER!' rhetoric in and attempt to hype people to bid more ... The reality, of course, is that no one give a fuck...
Then people who have been waiting to bid in end-game begin to bid shortly after.
Apparently, some where in between a series of price escalating for (E01) ... The '
Abnormalities' magically disappeared! (IMG:[

'
What a roller coaster ride!,' said MR.G after the auction.
'I'll have to do something about it for my next big item sale'
He continued ...'Maybe I'll try a private auction or direct sale this time... I don't want to experience that horror of seeing people bid for so low anymore!'
'But public auction have so much more potential to make me rich, and since I'm greedy, I'll stick with that!'
'But the fear will be there, too... What should I do ... What should I DO!' ...
MR.G said while biting his thump.'I know! ... I'll make a rule that ensured me in advance how much money I will get sometime before the auction end ... And with this info, it will be a lot easier to decide that should I begin to think of another excuse to cancel the auction, or let the auction continue for these suckers to keep on bidding and make me rich rich RICH! ... What a
PERFECT idea, Now I can remove the FEAR from auction!' ...
