Strange Bidding on Ebay...WTF!!!!?, by jonpud on Feb 18, 2008 9:39:56 GMT 1, I have been watching a signed WSM on Ebay (as I guess most of us do when we own the same print) just to see what sort of price it sold for, especially after the recent Bonhams auction.
The highest I have seen one of these sell for on the bay was a shade over ยฃ8K, a bid was placed on this print covering the starting price of ยฃ8750.00, a little high I thought (notice Alsbabar I am not trying to hype up the value of my print even if the walking stick is hand finished by Banksy!  ;D) but again perhaps the Bonhams effect had pushed up the price?
Anyway, the listing ended on the 15th and I have just searched through the results and found that the bidder (private listing) withdrew his/her bid! They removed it with a day to go having left the bid in place for 5 days and stating the usual 'Wrong amount entered' Interestingly the amount entered was ยฃ90,000!!!
Not casting doubt over the sellers credibility here, they are a pretty regular name to come up on ebay but I will leave you to make your mind up as to WTF was going on there then!!

Strange Bidding on Ebay...WTF!!!!?, by Deleted on Feb 18, 2008 9:47:10 GMT 1, it would seem a stupid thing to do for a seller, maybe it was a buyer who just has enough money that it didnt matter what price it went up to and they wanted to def buy it.
however maybe they suddenly thought what if someone else has the same idea and puts in a huge bid using a sniper tool.
then again who knows, maybe they did just enter the wrong amount. unlikely but you never know.

You could be right but why didn't the potential buyer enter a correct amount? They had a day left to do so!!? Can't see it being a silly mistake IMO!
