Doing The Right Thing

[John LaBarbera]

Here's a question. If you have the winning bid on an auction and have buyers remorse for any reason, wouldn't the previous high bid win and shouldn't the higher bidder who had a change of heart pay the difference and all would be well. For example, let's say someone bids $450.00 on a Bentley and I bid $500.00 and win and then change my mind, shouldn't I anti up the $50.00 difference?

I agree with the idea in terms of personal integrity, but I have run lots of auctions and have yet to ever have someone willing to do that.

That is a good idea,but in a lot of cases it was the $500 bidder who caused you to bid $450 to begin with.
Cleaners need to have enough sense not to buy any non vital equip if they don't have a few thousand in the bank extra. I love my 3 A/Ps and feel they will pay for themself in customer retention but it will be a year before I see the money from that.

A version of that which could be acceptable would be the previous legitimate bid be accepted if mutually agreed to between buyer and seller.

Yes. It's that simple. But it seems we may be cut from different cloth...the cloth that doesn't say "F it, I'm screwing you and you can't do a thing about it...I'm a victom - it's not my fault, my 2nd step dad was 'mean' so I am who I am and you are a BAD person for judging me".

Just sayin... :mrgreen:

How about loss of future biding privilege?

Sounds good to me. Maybe a long suspension at minimum.
