You're completely ignoring lies and blackmailing that Vod does.
It appeared like Vod believed you were intentionally lying to him and reacted to it... he has reacted to others in a similar fashion when he thinks someone is intentionally being dishonest. Blackmailing?? Are you sure you got the right term
Yet you insist on highlighting a one-time vendor bid I did on my auction 4 years ago? Please educate yourself to understand that vendor bidding is a normal auction event in various auction standards and countries, including the
United States. It's not standard in Ebay, not standard in Bitcointalk, but is a standard e.g. in my country.
As you've stated, it's not standard on Bitcointalk, where your auction was posted. IMO, it's your responsibility to know the guidelines and rules at an auction site/forum before creating the auction. When questioned immediately at the time of the auction, you chose to essentially give everyone the middle finger and press on. I'm merely stating my opinion that you were in the wrong in doing these things. 1) Listing a starting bid that wasn't really a "starting bid" as per the auction guidelines stickied to the section. 2) Not correcting your actions after being provided the chance to do so. (#2 is a personal pet peeve of mine)United States. It's not standard in Ebay, not standard in Bitcointalk, but is a standard e.g. in my country.
For example you can check the biggest Finnish online auction site huutokaupat.com. It's given that auctions are by default with reserve, be it hidden, concealed or open. Even the U.S. law states that auctions are by default with reserve.
This isn't huutokaupat and it's not a US-based auction house.
