I agree with Dick. Let it go. People make mistakes, we all have. I have never, and would never, take advantage of a situation or someones else's misfortune. In the big scheme of things I would rather go to bed knowing I was compassionate and didn't put the boots to someone simply because I could have.

Everyone has their own circumstances and they may need that money more then you. Without getting overly philosophical; life has a way of delivering to us what is meant to be. It's Christmas and the season to be jolly so in the spirit of the season take the higher road (unfortunately the less traveled, now a days).

Hopefully, the person is away on holidays and will send you an invoice upon their return.

I tend to agree with all of the above. Obviously, there should have been some sort of reserve from what you have said? I'd be inclined to walk away. Nothing is worth getting worked up about. Especially on battles you can never win. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

You cannot force a person to sell the item to you. I feel if you win an auction fair and square you should be entitled to the item....you bid what you thought was fair and thats what it sold for....if it was a local auction would the auction house be able to back out....i dont think so. Legal action is a waste of money and time. You can file a dispute with ebay and have them get in contact with the seller.

I also agree with all the above...
However, It's the people that email the seller and offer more money after the auction has ended that really irritate me! That happens ALOT!!!!
I bought a sign in Mass. buy it now, then posted for help picking it up....The next week a MEMBER posted my sign in buys of the week so I contacted ebay and police! Cops would do NOTHING but ebay/paypal got my $$$ back!
If this is the same pump from an earlier post then it wouldnt surprise me a bit if someone has contacted them already!!!

if the auction had a buy it now, you did not win the auction at a bid at $127.00 dollars.just because seller forgot to put a reserve on item does not make it yours.buy it now was $2800.00 DOLLARS,and you think you bought it? move on. you'll have better luck at lotto.

also, you need at least 2 bidders to cancel a buy it now without a reserve.in order to win item.

I am guessing they are not going to let it go. I emailed them for pictures of it and got no reply. I ended up not bidding as I really had no idea what I was buying and I was not going to take a chance on a 6 hour trip one way on it. You might contact Ebay as it may be your only chance.


Drive with Care and Buy Sinclair!! I buy Sinclair globes, signs, cans, ect.
