Well, this is a new one, ebay:

Retracted: US $21.00
Explanation: Entered wrong amount

What the hell does "entered wrong amount" mean?

It is intended to be a safety net in case you enter $1000 as a bid instead of your intended $100. However, most use it to get out of a legit bid that they placed. Buyer's remorse before they actually buy the item.

Too bad there's no confirmation page after typing in the amount before placing the bid. Something like that would probably solve these issues. If only ebay had thought of that...

Some crazy hauls going up there, fellers! Most of these will head to the bay as I've got some home renovation projects coming up that needs funding. Scored these ties all from the same spot today.
L-R: Versace, Zegna, Stefano Ricci x 3, Fendi x 2, Brioni x3.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

This Ricci had some funky texture.

Don't know if Fendis bring in much but figured wtf.

Figured this guy needed to stand out on its own. This thing is outrageous. Don't know what was going on here.

Then I found a recent Zegna 15 mil 15 suit on my last stop

Forgot about these, Ferragamos probably not available, others maybe


Also, I should have mentioned in my shirt post that I would like to end up keeping a good amount of them for myself. They're technically all available, but the ones with the patterns I like most I'll need more $ to part with. I'll get back to people on pm's later.

I've had bidders do that trying to figure out what the reserve price is (back when I did reserve price auctions - kinda pointless nowadays IMO).

+1, I wish they would make it nonretractable unless you enter a new lesser amount.

 

[Typhoid Jones]

Everybody's pulling these monster hauls and I got nuthin' over here!

 

[VLSI]

Wouldn't matter unfortunately. If they couldn't retract their bid, they would just end up not paying anyways since there is no penalty. We're at their mercy

Damn them and the no buyer neg feedback.

Venturing into Capnwes territory I found all of these at an independent thrift were everything is $1. If anyone sees anything they want let me know (or if you want details/closer pics). My intentions when I spotted them were to just include a set with sold or traded items. The mallard set is pretty handsome.

I don't get ebay at all.

Louis Vuitton tie, 13 bids, $66. Lot of two Brioni ties, one bid at $25.

What?

Because the Ebay crowd don't know better. This is making me temped to Ebay the Gucci tie I was saving for myself and keep the Brioni's.

I posted in the trade thread, but might as well throw them up here too. Stolen from Wes's backyard

I am wondering now about Wes's territory. Do only dead people possess cufflinks? Is this an anti-trend? Damn I have too many cufflinks!!!!!!! I bought my best most awesome pair of cufflinks from an antique dealer in Punxatawney, PA. This is more than a trend.

I leave town for 3 days and this is what happens!!! WTF Lol. I gotta get a better guard dog!

I'm hoping to have some pics of the stuff I picked up since Thursday, but it will have to be after I pack and ship 14 packages.
