withdrawn 5kg 999 Silver Geiger Edelmetalle Silver Bar (Square) For Auction! - Ends 12th April 9am UK GMT - WITHDRAWN

[Spyder]

Having looked at the video and read the listing, I can not see much wrong here.  A little annoying for those who wanted to bid.  Negotiations were already in the process prior to the auction. OP decided to list as an auction as he already had minimum price that had been offered, too many PM telling him he was doing it wrong so decided to end the auction.  Yes a bid went in, but he did end it quite quickly.  It would have been another story had the auction run for a few hours and many bids, but it did not.    

Like been said, it was previous listed as BIN price. All other members had the chance to buy it then or try and negotiate a deal. 

At the end of the day nothing is legally binding and a seller chooses who to sell to.   I remember an auction that went to the end and was pulled as price seller wanted was not reached. It leaves a bad taste but everyone moves on and another deal is just around the corner.

I know this is probably more banter than anything, but I have checked all the timestamps and the sale was agreed with me before you placed your bid, not by a few minutes either, was a good 30 mins before when the sale was agreed and a few hours before when we started negotiations.

I'm over it. I was really annoyed at the time and it was only rekindled when you stated no body wanted it in your vid. Not sure if you were aware of the auction. However, Honestly I don't know why anyone would agree a sale having started an auction, let alone waiting 30 min's to withdraw the auction after agreeing to sell through private messages so the rest of the forum were unaware. I bid as soon as I saw the auction and it was still live as I typed.

I'm more than happy with the purchases I made as a result of not buying the bar/ square. I do feel OP acted quite disingenuous, and as such the resulting banter should be expected. After all you wouldn't expect to turn up at a auction house and part way through the auction or bidding the auctioneer say's thanks to those that have left bid's or bid be we've already sold it. I know on occasion, items are pulled but this is done with Immediate effect, if for what ever reason an item is pulled.

I'm sure you can understand that if auctions on the forum were usually run this way, were a private message and sale agreement could stop an auction mid flow, nobody would bother bidding. What would be the point, only for it to be cancelled.

Moving on I feel OP got less than he could have and I know for a fact that I was prepared at the time to go to £3,700 (£740 a kilo, as per my wanted ad). So in my eyes he's only done himself out of funds.

Absolute belter of a bar at under spot price too!! 🤯 At the end of the day the forum can be very much dog eat dog at times sellers are free to sell to who they want, it's a shame the op felt inundated with rules and advice.
