Seems like somebody is trying to make that eBay seller rich, or putting him out of business... www.ebay.com/itm/like/173225018746?vectorid=229466&lgeo=1&item=173225018746&rmvSB=trueWhen you sell on eBay you have to pay the commission of 10% on a monthly basis, therefore the seller currently would have to pay 2k to eBay. Later the buyer will not pay and the seller is stuck with eBay credit as eBay will not reimburse money on canceled transactions. An unexpected 2k payment can be more than enough to get a starting business into struggle. |

An unexpected 2k payment can be more than enough to get a starting business into struggle. Therefore, it would be best for seller to cancel the item before end of bidding? Unless seller thinks he'll get the 9k which is unlikely. |

Yes, canceling the item would be one of the possible ways out.

Unless the buyer is a Chinese millionaire for whom $20,000.00 is the equivalent of $20.00 for average mortal.

Well you would need two of these millionaires in the same auction then. The bid history shows a lot of bidding, but it is the same account constantly raising its highest offer. Looks dodgy or it is a millionaire with too much time.
I had to share the auction here as it nearly made me (litteraly) spit out a drink earlier today when I saw it in the rotating banner.

Same me and then I saw your post already here when I wanted to comment on this. |

The specimen is also missing it's entire right mid-leg from what I can tell. So who in their right mind would lay out boo-koo bucks for an imperfect un-spread specimen. This is just folly and somebody is going to bail out of the deal (either the seller or the buyer).

One millionaire retreat leaving the highest bid $9100.00, wonder what will happen next.

This said these bids seem crazy and I guess it is a stupid bidder playing. |

Oh, well that makes all the difference - it's worth $20,000 after all.  |

Yes they do reimburse fees on cancelled transactions, but only as a credit towards eBay and not in cash. I was unclear in my wording. It's pretty annoying if it happens on a big deal. I'm a professional dealer there since a few months (didn't have a $20.000 item, yet  ) |
