So anyone get a reply from the car seller?

I wonder how small claims court works across states.

I bet he was hoping to get the chick posing with the car too. When he found out he'd have to find some other avenue to deflower him, he bailed.

Probably, but neither is bumping this thread. Touche.

And legally I am not bound to pay his relist fees unless he takes me to court. Until then I guess I will sit back and laugh at this thread.

He should have factored re-list fees into his accounting when he decided to list a "show car" that will realistically probably never sell for $12k.

I am sending him this quote as well, hope that will piss the seller off enough that he actually sue your ass.

I don't not claim anything... ahh if I could be your age so I could justify being an ass on the internet.

Isn't bidding on an item you don't have the money to buy being an ass on the internet?

Yeah but he can't justify his being an ass on the internet :)

I don't have to relist him. I am not contractually bound to do so. I had to relist my video card and I paid for it... so I don't care. Continue to insult and bother me if you wish.

What a fvcktard the OP is. Its one thing to come here and post the truth about how you are an idiot, but then to try and justify it? You fvcked up, fine. But dont try and make it like it isnt your fault and the seller "should have known the car isnt worth that."

If it isnt worth that why the fvck did you OFFER THAT MUCH?

Grow up and admit that you fvcked up and pay the seller the money he lost when you "bought" the vehicle.

ASS

As it stands now, you don't honor your own word... So are you going to work with the person that you won a auction from on or not....

Tell me this - why should anyone here trade or buy from you again?

I plan on paying him $100 if he responds to my email. Unfortunately he has not replied or been very nice to me since.

100% on heatware and 100% on sold items on ebay in terms of feedback. If you don't want to buy from me that is your prerogative. That being said, I wanted to see if I was legally bound $200 because I offered him a good price for his "show car." Have a nice day.

You are just a big of "fvcktard" as I am. Thank you for bypassing the swear filter that the owner of ATOT obviously had installed for a reason. I hope you are banned along with anyone who continues to insult me on this thread. I will have you all reported if I have to.

You were legally bound because you bid on the car and entered into a contract.. It wasnt an "offer" anymore once he accepted it. It was an agreement for you to purchase the car at the price you saw fit and entered.

Idiot.

Why are people still posting in this thread? The OP is obviously trolling and giggling in girlish glee every time someone torches him. By now he is well aware he is a worthless scumbag of a human being who will go precisely nowhere in life. Enjoy the ride, OP.

Blazin Trav, please allow me to explain something to you. When you bid on an auction, or agree to anything in life, for that manner...you give a man your word. By making that bid, you made a promise. You broke it. If I were that seller, I'd be pissed too.

The lesson, and hopefully it will sink into your head, is that you do not go around spending money you don't have. Is it really his fault YOUR parents decided not to invest in your auction bid? I don't see how it could be the seller's fault. Plain and simple...you fvcked up. Maybe you have put your family in this position before, and finally they decided to quit letting you be a spoiled brat, and deal with life on your wallet, not theirs.

So go around here attacking your detractors, who do not agree with your view, but maybe they are mature enough, much more than you, to see the reality of this situation at full value. You, OTOH, seem quite immature, and not willing to accept any accountability for what you created. If you do not knock yourself out of that mode and grow up, you will have a hard life.

Uhh

Who bids on any car before asking the people responsible for paying for the car if they will or not?


no truer words spoken...gotta love parents!!

um, if you know more lawyers, then why didn't you ask them instead of posting your question on this forum? i mean think about it - you know lawyers, yet you posted on a forum where anyone that doesn't know the law could answer your question.

btw, the others are right - you made a bid, therefore you are liable. if you searched under the "Help" link on ebay, you'll find "Bidding on a Vehicle" article that states:
Remember that each bid you place enters you into a binding contract. If you win a listing, you?re obligated to complete the transaction. Read the User Agreement for details
here's the link if you want to read it yourself.

and pay attention to the link for "How to bid on a vehicle" which states:
All bids on eBay are binding so you should make sure you know how much you can afford first.
and this one is linked here.

I don't have my "mullet" and I know three lawyers. I'm 20, how am I a kid? I voted for Kerry and I hope you guys are having fun with this thread, I sure as hell am. And for the record? I won a $27k car for $11k. How am I losing here? GTFO and DIAF, thanks.
