IMO this is one of the nicest original maker repros that Eastman produce. I have had mine for several years now and have no plans to move it on. Good luck with your sale.

How can this be so as there are no bids and the auction has ended?

Did someone make you an offer you could not refuse?

I had a bid of $325 on it to start. Getting pretty pissed at the eBay advertising service. Worse when it is one of our own.
A kind message via eBay explaining the situation and the ability to make a counter offer would have been good. It will pop
up again, and we will know who both sides of the dodgy deal are...

Not a happy camper. Preferred contract and perfect size....Should have let the dollars do the talking..

I agree with this statement. Why list something as an auction if you aren't going to let it run?

 

[CBI]

I have never posted something on eBay and then pulled it due to someone making an offer. Sorry, but I think this is wrong and very misleading behavior.

 

[dadgad]

I must admit, believing or not I was very reluctant but I did it, I got an even offer, that's it.

Your feelings are appropriate, and I am sorry that I am the cause of them but come on...

 

[CBI]

No worries, in the grand scheme of world events its nothing. Every time I have a nice item for sale on eBay, I always have people making off eBay offers - even thought I always state in the listing that I won't sell the item before bidding closes.

Nuff said

Let us know who the buyer is and we are sweet.

YOU did post it here for all to have a crack at, with 6 or so bids within hours. Hope the offer was well over $700!!
And it is strange you now feel an allegiance to a lowballer from eBay over the forum members?

I sold it to a Fedora's member, I don't know if he is also a member here but I think that you are pushing things a bit further...with your kind approval.

I figured that surely you all would have loved to be able to take the jacket at a bargain.

 

[RCSignals]

I think everyone here who was interested would have loved to be able to bid it to the end since it was an eBay auction, not a presentation here for sale to best offer.

 

[ausreenactor]

I'll offer $700, immediate payment. Tell the other guy "the item is no longer available for sale"! :roll:

Just seen this thread. As you know Couchy, the canceling of bids is not something I agree with and I can understand your anger after this occurrence. However, I do think this is an isolated instance, and it may have been foolhardy by the seller, who might have gotten more for the jacket by letting the auction run, though it would have had to been at least $50 more just to cover the eBay fees. If he did receive an offer that was too good to refuse he should have at least informed bidders of this and let them have the chance to counterbid...but then that would be the same as letting the auction run!

I have a deep respect for all of your opinions, I appreciate you for being so square and I beg your pardon for being me so unfair but I suggest you if I can, to take life with a more serene attitude.
