When you announce to the world that a buyer got a great deal on ebay.....you essentially slash the possibility of the sale being completed.


see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

Nice sign, I assume it is real? If the seller is aware of the Old Gas web site to see the comment, he probably would have priced it a lot higher..

The vultures sweep completed listings all the time....I have had members of this site try to snake me out of items I have purchased. Its comes down to the ethics of the seller. I agree with Charles.

Double edge sword;
IF you were the seller you'd hope it happen.
IF you were the buyer You'd hope it didn't.

Your wrong about the whole world seeing it. After it sells it is removed from the listings. Because it sold so quickly....only a small amount of people saw the sign. Now that it's listed here, the sale has had many times more people view it. I have had 20 ebay sales returned to me in the last calendar year because people offered more money for the item. I've seen a couple show up here in BOTW.

hopefully the sale goes thru... the times I have found decent deals, I always call the seller as soon as I can after purchasing and ask that they ship asap, and offer paying for the expediting. after the sale ends, it wont show in ebays completed listings for a couple days
