Yes I was watching it too.

It was cancelled at 16:30ish UK time reason-'mistake in listing' or otherwise known as gazzumped-the arse!

I was watching a 1st print Tegel Manor on ebay and now I suddenly cannot find it.  It had bids on it.  In fact I was the first to bid on it but now it is no longer showing up in My Ebay and a search reveals nothing.  It had a 1.5 days left before the end of the auction.  Never had anything like this happen before.  I know some of you were also bidding on it.  Did someone snake it out from under us.

Sonuvabitch!  I was the high bidder on that one.  Damn seller cancelled the auction.  I was trying to do a search for the item but I dont think there is a way to find a cancelled item unless you know the ID number of the listing.

Man that really pisses me off!  

By the way Martin...why were you bidding on it?  You already have one!  

red_bus you have been watching too much Johnny Depp

I think this cancellation may in fact be legit. Looks like a legit error as Jon Hargreaves won this back in early July:




** expired/removed eBay auction **




That said, when auctions disappear that I have been bidding on and my gets gets cancelled I have emailed the seller in the past to find out why for sure.  If the seller gives me an ambiguous answer as to why, I email them back and let them know my disappointment and tell them how much I was "willing" to bid if the auction had run full turn.  You'd be amazed at the repsonses you get sometimes.  



And before anyone gets me wrong, I am not advocating pissing on peoples legit wins(even super low great buy BINs as I think thats completely wrong to do as well   ), its only these auctions that have been running with bids and with no BIN and then they suddenly disappear into the mists of time.

Keep telling yourself that.  

Kingofpain,

Mine is the unique "Tegel Shrew".  It is a one of a kind item.  Wanted another first print.  I am pissed that it did not go thru.  Oh well, wait for the next one.

martin

well you can all blah all you want, but you would have had to slap at least $80 on it to have won *shrugs*

i sent a message to the seller asking what was up but no reply.

no tegel goes un-noticed by the KJ man

not the same as watching you in a live auction, where the arm is wavering the mind is teetering on the brink and a cold-sweat breaks out on your brow as the price goes up and up john

Al
