God that pisses me off! Bastards!

Not only is this illegal with eBay policies but its downright unfair for everyone else. Down with big money tiki mongers!

Here's the response..... "I noticed another tiny chip or flea bite nick on the rim... so ended the listing. I did not know that it was worth anything at all. How much do you think it would have sold for? Just curious. Thanks!! Let me know... I may relist." I make no judgements because I really don't know the seller and they are very experienced (nearly 1500 feedback). I think an old hand would know better than to sell early. JTD

They ended the auction because they found a flea bite? And they told midnite that it was broken. AND they want to know what it would've sold for? Smells funny to me. But I guess I'm just paranoid. Email her back and tell her (him?) that it would've probably gone for $300+ or more (I think it would have, no?). Let's see how fast it gets relisted.

I don't think I could possible bid against her after reading that. Anyway, here's my response to VariousValuableVintage: VVV, Flea bites notwithstanding, that Mahi Mahi mug would probably go for $250-$300, maybe more if a couple of the avid collectors went a little bonkers. Good luck. -JTD

Get a grain and again read midnite's tale but this time take that grain of salt and a shot of rum whilst you read it. :) I can mail you a grain of salt if you don't have any. :wink:
