Some of these sell for over 500 on ebay. Mine is in very good shape. We will see.

Well the auction ended and a day later I got an email from ebay. They canceled the auction due to one of the bidders accounts being used by someone else. To protect his and my accounts they had to cancel it. So I re listed it tonight.

Anyone interested please visit the auction.

That stinks you have to go through another week of waiting. I got a note from eBay (since I had threw a bid at it the first time around for fun) saying they voided it. I wondered what was up. It is good you explained exactly what happened when you relisted, makes the bidders feel more comfortable something fishy is not going on.

Did you think the sale price was fair the first time around ?

I had something like that happen to me one time. I listed some 24" wide x 6' long curly maple slabs on a "buy it now", or "best offer". I was wanting a little quick cash so I dug into my stash of special wood, I listed 4 slabs...20 minutes later they all "sold" to the same guy ($20 bft- $240 each). I looked he had a 0 feedback, eBay sent me a note saying it was a scam and kicked him off. I had to relist and did sell them all in a couple days though.

I've never had this happen before but understand.
