610400 2007-11-11 04:58:00 a bidder (greyp) bids buynow amount on a trailer. i realise buynow is probably too low, so i remove bid on request, but do not reinstate buynow.

Nope. Sorry. You screwed him.
Thats a bit like those people that do $1 reserve and then won't sell it for a low price.

610401 2007-11-11 05:01:00 well before i screwed him i asked on the TM message board what others would do, and they all went for getting as much as i could for the scouts.

was it my money i would've simply let him have it.

no reason for all this to happen, trademe's handling of the matter is what gets me the most.

You still live at home? If so go ask your daddy to make the difference up for the scouts

610403 2007-11-11 05:08:00 and besides, i didn't screw him, i disappointed him and we both made mistakes.

i'm the one who's been screwed, as that bike auction was to cover the cost of fixing another two in the shed so they can be sold. just had all that shoved back a week or more.

he got disappointed, nothing more. he's in exactly the same position as he was before this

610405 2007-11-11 05:12:00 The Scouts thing is not relevant and a red herring, tm has easy to read rules abide by them or get banned.
What I do is put a higher reserve than normal and when clowns test the 15% reserve by bidding just under the reserve, I lower the reserve and whammo they are the winner. Want to see the back pedalling then.

610406 2007-11-11 05:15:00 scout thing is relevant, as my actions were not out of greed or self interest. again, was it my money i would've sold. his response was revenge, trademe were all to happy to comply motorbyclist (188)

I'm afraid it is the point, you young members have a habit of throwing around what you believe to be worldly knowledge. And then manage to make such a simple mistake, and then want to change the rules when you don't get your own way:2cents:

610408 2007-11-11 05:56:00 scout thing is relevant

No its not, You pulled an auction because you wanted more money, To take your justification to the extreme, Should I rob a bank for the Scouts?
