Are you saying that "bigbob219" = "Mantiques" - the seller of this knife?

Re: LATAMA Square Button Switchblade

Re: LATAMA Square Button Switchblade
I'm not sure how the auction site works for sellers as I've never sold. But, why start the bidding price so low below the reserve price? Starting bid $3,500, current bid $3,815 but reserve not met. I'm assuming the reserve must be $4,000(?). Why not just start the bidding at $4,000? Seems to just give prospective buyers false hope. I would think it would take a bidder some time to get up the "nerve" to place a $3,815 bid, only find out they didn't even have a chance. The anxiety alone would kill me before my wife had a chance to.

let me see if i can explain it ok lol , the reserve could be 10,000 dollars so lets say the bidding only goes up to 7500 and reserve was not met the seller can make the hi-bidder the winner so if you yourself were hi-bidder when auction ended at lets say 7500 and reserve was not met the seller can still make you winner . as a seller if you really want to test the waters that is the way to do it , very smart move on the sellers part

Re: LATAMA Square Button Switchblade
you use to be able to manually appoint the high bidder the winner but they were not obligated to accept the offer if they didn't want to .
Re: LATAMA Square Button Switchblade
yep i forgot the hi-bidder would also have the option to accept or deny being winner at the price they bidwicollector wrote:you use to be able to manually appoint the high bidder the winner but they were not obligated to accept the offer if they didn't want to .
