Someone must be contacting customer service to retract this bid, or cancelling their CC.Frying pan

Just the bid-bots malfunctioning under this new layout. They will eventually get all of the kinks worked out. You didn't think that you were losing all of those auctions to actual people, did you? Cool

Yeah, that would be quite insane if that was his / her actual bid amount...but, if you meant this as an overbid post, there's a Topic already dedicated to that subject. You probably missed it 'cause it was, unfortunately, buried around 4 pages back:

Right Right... Also, we have had all them 20 year one post members saying they was not coming back because the new layout and all so this is the only logical explanation.

#5...Exactly right. It's like that one Matrix movie where some of the old computer programs were getting phased out, and they would buck against the system to maintain their survival. Same thing. Laugh

Don’t know about the red pill, but learning to spell would be a plus.

One should be careful saying stuff like this, because while I'm not a lawyer, if I remember right the activity alleged is illegal in most or all jurisdictions, and thus accusing a company of it (even via indirect implying) on a forum can open one to defamation lawsuits, specifically libel, and one would have no proof of the alleged activity to offer as a defense, resulting in loss of the suit and a hefty judgement to pay to the company.

Be careful what you post.

Haven't bought on here in awhile but does it still work that you put your max bid in and you get it for the price it is bid up to? If so that would take 2 people to make it go that high!

Hey PM, check the spelling of the term liable. Also, when in doubt always use the term, it is my opinion. And always remember the phrase, I have no recollection of that discussion.

I was not attempting to use the word "liable"; the word I used is indeed spelled correctly, but is an entirely different word. "Libel" and "slander" are two types of the umbrella term "defamation" (libel is printed, slander is spoken, so the former would be the relevant one in the case of a forum post).

This is very good advice always, yes! :)

$31 a stick, very reasonable. I only use the term stick because I think the winning bidder would.

So PM you weren't looking for responsibility, just defamation. I have seen both terms used, just thought you might mean the first rather than the second. Although, honestly they could hit for both, depending upon the situation.

+5, I only use +5 because +1 does not even come close with how much I agree. Not talking

Some noops do not know the difference between libel and liable. In PM's post libel is probably the more proper and certainly not wrong.

This is the worst bid I have seen here. Does anyone remember a worse one?
