AF,
As an eBay seller and buyer I agree you said nothing or did nothing "un-ethical" in your posts. You simply said you did not want to enter into a bidding war on a $110 jacket and you would step aside so others could buy one.
Nothing wrong at all with that. If the bid goes above $110.01, and you are out....then you are out. If you get it for $110.00 then the seller is still happy. No bidding wars, no one gets their toes stepped on.
I am glad to see the post as I have been looking for a "roomier" G-1 for daily wear......seems the damn cleaners shrank mine .....again

Hi Dan,
In fairness to R7000, what was in my mind was a bit more complex. I was thinking that we ought to set up a plan whereby we wouldn't be bidding aginst each other if we didn't want to. In other words, if five of us wanted a jacket but only two jackets were being auctioned at that given time, then two of us would decide which jacket each would bid on, and the other three would step aside and have a go next round. If someone here on the forum didn't care to be part of a "plan" they would certainaly be able bid at will. Also, all of the other ten zillion people who could be watching the acution would be able to bid at will.
The result would be that the seller would sell his jackets at the highest price any buyer is willing to pay, but we on the forum wouldn't bid against each other needlessly. That is, three or four of us wouldn't be bidding against each other on one jacket while two other jackets were sitting there with zero bids. Of course, my assumption is that the seller is willing to sell at 110 bucks and that he has enough jackets to meet the demand at 110 bucks.
If that is unethical, then every cooperative buying plan in the entire economy is also unethical.

AF,
Not complex at all. I understood from the beginning what you were saying. I don't want to bid against our forum mates either.
Especially now, when I see the seller has a "buy it now" feature for $110.00. No bidding war is required.
thanks!

My best guess is that they have a lots jackets available.
I can wait and may get mine at $110. That's why I bid $110.01.
If I did not bid on it (it actually become buy it now) every one probably still waits to last mins and try to outbid each other! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I think that you are right. If you hadn't taken the initative and placed a bid...we'd have all been snipeing each other like crazy a week from now!

I wonder if these jackets are seconds rejected by the military ?
Normally they seem to sell for $260 or so on Greedbay.
