This one negative feedback will be a really strong one, and when people read it, they will be very hesitant about doing business with the seller. I bet he's reading this thread as I am typing this post.

One thing for sure...That seller ain't gettin' any business from me, nor other head-fi'ers I guess

Jeff should buy them and sell them to the origional winner for $45

 

[IPodPJ]

This is, for sure, "The Neverending Thread".

...like its predessor movie, but this one is really never going to end I think.
At least they ended that series after 3 movies. The only good one was the first one. The other 2 were works of cinematic garbage.

And for sure this is the fastest growing thread, post by post, I've ever seen on this site.

 

[Woosh]

Quoted for truth. Jeff since you caused this almighty screw up with your thoughtless, jackass behaviour, are you going to at least respond to this thread? If the original buyer was a member of this forum, then an apology here would be in order. If the original buyer is not a member of this forum, he is still due an apology by whatever means is available.

Oh, and yeah you should buy them at $2500 since you told the seller you would (and THEN sell them to original buyer for $45).

i dont think he tried to be "funny"....its more like jealousy that he missed out. there are small ppl out there who just cant deal with the fact that some one else have it better/lucky. i'm pretty sure thats the mentality he had when he messaged the seller.

The original winning bidder wasn't simply about to get a good deal on some headphones, he was knowingly taking advantage of the seller by an extremely large margin. Although the seller probably wasn't losing money and could have done more research, and making that bid wasn't actively lying, there is no injustice in revealing to the seller the whole truth: that he has undervalued his item by 50 times. Bidder lost his bargain, seller gained one he didn't know he had.

I'll also add that value-- be it of headphones, real estate, or anyting-- can be described as inflated if you only consider its functional worth. Factor in supply and demand, and inflation becomes insignificant. More people want it than can have it even if it were free, and every item that is available will still find an equally deserving owner.

 

[Geoff Rymer]

Aside from the fact that he said he would have paid $2500 (way above market value) and now he has the opportunity he won't? Hardly seems fair on the seller either, raising expectations like that.

EDITED to clarify.

 

[werdwerdus]

The seller probably relisted because he thought Jeff.h would buy it

The bidder was taking advantage of the seller?

Do you know how auctions work? And since when do sellers have to know the whole truth before they sell an item?
