This "auction" is outrageous.
16 boards are listed under the guise of limited availability and the bids skyrocket, then another 16 boards are suddenly available? How can you hold people to bids they made when the number of units suddenly doubles mid-auction and demand drops?
I'm sorry but I will not be sending payment for my boards as I feel the pricing & demand was manipulated. The additional boards should have been in a separate auction (you discussed this possibility but decided against it for whatever reason).
Fortunately, it looks like you have no shortage of other buyers.
Hey.
I know its odd adding more boards into an auction half way through. It seemed that because people had already bid, validating their bids was fairer than making them lose and then bid again on another auction. I do see your point entirely though which is why i posted about not being exactly sure what the right thing to do was. I honestly wasn't trying to manipulate prices. Just made a call on the extra 16 boards and decided to validate other peoples already made bids. Given you made your bid before the extras were added though, you are welcome to retract your bid and make a new one if you like, or just pull out. Either way, it is still the same boards, and bidding still secures you the same thing. Let me know what you would like to do. Only 45 mins or so left.
