Auction Ended: Frozen DSF/DS.COM/DLRP
Is there such an expression? Lol that's news to me and it seems to be in bad taste.
You would assume that to be the case, but since we have not heard from this member since pictures were asked for I think clarification is in order.
Makes sense...I'm wondering the same thing. How long do we have to keep our pins on hold? I'd like to know which I am able to offer for trade still. It's kind of frustrating...I doubt I won lol, but I still don't want to go ahead and trade anything without someone being acknowledged the winner yet.
sorry for the delay. I'm been slammed with finals. Thanks for everyone's respect.
after long talk with jack, we chose f_gis. You can pick up my mothers grave at 1 Lincoln Blvd. in SF. Thank you so much for this bid. I can't wait to get it!! To everyone else, my second set is still for trade!
Nick and Jack
Now how about you pick a bid that actually took your auction seriously, as you stated in your initial post?
I'm hoping that he didn't think I was being rude :/ I sincerely found that comment about his mother's gravestone to be just as disgusting as most of you; expression or not, f_gis should have been warned with that comment because it was clearly meant in bad taste. Anyone can see that.
I don't think it was inappropriate, for those of us who asked him to ship his trades first. His feedback is worrisome and a lot of us were bidding high-value pins and most of us have 100% feedback. Didn't think there was any harm in asking clarification on that; so I'm hoping that wasn't what turned him off.
To be honest though, this auction wasn't boding well when pictures were asked and leaderboard updates were being requested and nothing was being posted. That tells me he had 1 set, not 2, and he didn't intend on following through with the auction from the very beginning.
While I understand his frustration and anger, those of us who genuinely participated, are equally as frustrated and upset. I didn't expect to win... But yea that disrespectful banter from f_gis needs to be addressed. If anything, it's his/her fault that this auction isn't happen. They should be just as responsible as StitchinWonderland.
A comment, be it offensive or not, should not determine the outcome of an auction when legitimate bids have been placed. Time to stop focusing on that, and focusing on the outcome of the auction. By 5pm est, 8pm pst, the winning bid must be announced. If not, then the auctioneer has gone against the rules of the forum. Let's focus on the rules of this messy auction (not due to comments, but because of its format), and figure out the outcome.
