Model Forum / General / Railroads / November 2006FA: NSWGR Brass Z17 Class - by Samhongsa of Korea
Hi All, I've just listed a brand new brass 17 Class loco on ebay if anyone is interested. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330053868941 Thanks Paul why do people selling "HIDE" the bidders identity? so their mates can bid on it to up the price? in 5 yrs on the bay, I've never bothered to bid on one like that after watching a few .... >Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Thanks >Paul >why do people selling "HIDE" the bidders identity? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] >>Thanks >>Paul As you will see from the above thread, the seller has NOT hidden his identity. That is his correct name and email address. You might apologise to him!

So Biggus has nothing to apologise for, and indeed his point is well taken. >Hunslet, you have missed the point. This seller hides the BIDDERS' >identities.

I've had a couple of people over the years ask me not to leave feedback for them because they don't want others (their wives maybe!) knowing what they've bought. Also, just recently after I purchased a fairly popular item, I received a number of requests to resell it and one to sell me something quite similar! Besides, saying that it'll let friends push the price up is all well and good, but who would have a eBay UserID of 'PaulsFriend44' or similar. Besides I don't even know 'Kevin66' or 'BigBadLocoGirl'... Just an experiment, and if people want something, they'll bid anyway (I hope). Thanks Paul > Just an experiment, and if people want something, they'll bid anyway (I > hope). Well, I have no intention of buying a 17 class - but if I did seek to buy a fairly expensive item, I certainly would not bid (except perhaps in the last few seconds) on an auction where I could not see who I was bidding against and what their bidding behaviour is (the latter being perhaps the more important). Possible dishonesty by the seller is only just one aspect of that. So at least in my case, your "hope" would be false. > > Just an experiment, and if people want something, they'll bid anyway (I > > hope).

Eddie, Maybe you'd like my Trainorama 47 Class instead, with all bids there for everyone to see. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330055455221 Regards Paul >>>Just an experiment, and if people want something, they'll bid anyway (I >>>hope).

As you will see from the auction, "High bidder: User ID kept private " you might lick my balls. >As you will see from the above thread, the seller has NOT hidden his >identity.

It's up to the seller, he can do that if he likes, just as you have used your choice not to bid on these auctions. I have been going to Auctions now for many years and i havn't been to many where i know who i am bidding against so i fail to see the difference. > why do people selling "HIDE" the bidders identity? > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > >Thanks > >Paul Yes, I understand what is happening, but I'm with Eddie, I'd never bid in any of these auctions. I guess its all a matter of transparency. That's the gargon that is used today. Check with little Johnie. Cheers, Roger Gillard >People sell using the Hide feature because ebay lets them.

Not these 'bidder id hidden' surely we have more than enough of this 'privacy' crap without having it on a very large open auction site. It leaves open the chance to manipulate the bidding. If people want to remain 'unknown' then don't use eBay. There is only 1 or 2 of the hundreds of thousands of sellers who hides the bidders id. I for one will not enter bids to any auctions who have the bidders id hidden. --- Terry C. > Yes, > I understand what is happening, but I'm with Eddie, I'd never bid in any [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > >> >Thanks > >> >Paul |
