Has anyone who has ever really wanted a certain title that's listed not contacted the seller to see if a deal can be done away from the site to secure it?.. Your bloody daft if you haven't.. most people do!
Just to clarify
I have too on the shadow I got, but he started the listing at a price he wanted not $1, and he had no bids.. I just said "let it finish, if no one bids and you are interested contact me for an offline deal"....
I just don't like people listing low (or $1), seemingly showing a strong commitment to letting it run and then pulling out with a number of bids and I am sure lots of watchers... That's why if I list at $1 showing I am committed to the auction I let it run, if I list buy it now or list high and get no bids I am happy to take it offline... That way only ebay is getting stuffed around not the other users...
When you list stencils do you list at $1 and cancel all bids at the last minute or list at a reasonable price and wait for the contacts doing offline deals, I have ZERO problem with the later, that is ebay's problem... lol.. As you say ebay is bad enough at times, no need for the users to make it worse for other users..
