Hewlett-Packard 4261A LCR Meter

The HP 4261A is 3 1/2 digit LCR meter that meets today's requirements for
component measurements. The instrument features fully automatic operation
over wide measuring ranges. Simply select the measuring functions and one of

Hi All,

What does everyone think of this 'sniping' policy that Macservice attach to
their auctions and how it fits in with e-bay policies? I often place bids at
the last moment as they suggest to get the best price and would be a tad
pi**ed off if I'd missed out because they had a better offer from an outside
party before-hand. Why don't they suggest to their other interested parties
that they place a bid along with everyone else on e-bay before hand?

We had a small amount of surplus GPS modules for sale on sold.com.au a while
ago and when I coincidentally received a call from someone after a few
assumed that cancelling the auction on that basis was outside the spirit of
things and suggested they placed a bid, which they did and won by normal
means.

It would also seem that e-bay would miss out on their commission in that
circumstance, because while I've never sold much on e-bay I assume that
while the listing fee would still be payable that because no sale was made
they would never receive their commission? The following policy seems to
preclude withdrawal just because an external sale has been made:

It is not permitted for a seller on eBay to refuse to accept payment or fail
to deliver an item at the end of a successful sale.

Any comments? I would think for a commercial enterprise they should honour a
decision a list an item at auction, with an appropriate reserve as
necessary, and follow any bids through to conclusion even if they are placed
10 seconds before the end of the auction.

Well, at least they make it very clear up front about what could
happen. If you want the thing then you could always put down a low bid
to get "known" as they suggest. They do say that they will contact
known bidders if they get an outside offer, sounds fair enough to me I
guess.

That was your call.
The seller always has the right to cancel the Auction early though.

It would also seem that e-bay would miss out on their commission in that
circumstance, because while I've never sold much on e-bay I assume that

to deliver an item at the end of a successful sale.
Yep, if they do go through with the auction and there is a winning
bid, they are obliged to sell the item to the winner.

But it doesn't mean they can't cancel the auction early though.
eBay says:
"You may cancel bids in an eBay online auction, if you have a valid
reason. Legitimate reasons include the following:
You want to end your eBay online auction early because you no longer
want to sell your item. In this case you must cancel all bids on your
auction before ending the auction. Cancellation will eliminate all
bids placed by the bidder in this auction. If you are trying to
correct an error in a bid, the bidder will have to bid again."
"Your cancellation will be publicized in the bidding history for this
auction, and you may be asked to explain your cancellation to the
bidder or other bidders. If the cancellation was not legitimate, you
open yourself to potential negative feedback from other users."

Dave :)

All true Dave.

as of yet no one has ever emailed me with any serious offer outside eBay,
I've had a couple of offers but as they where crazy ( like $200 for a $4000
instrument) I've turn them down, The only problem I've had recently is where
we moved from sold.com to eBay and have accidentally listed (and sold) an
item that was already sold on sold.com ages ago, go's to show we are all
human and do make mistakes.

Mike,

The best catalogue we have is eBay, there is just so much stuff it would be
an impossible task to catalogue it all, I understand about the spam, this
was just a simple post to let people know what we have at the moment, if you
would like to be on our mailing list please email me and i'll put you on.

Fair enough, its cheaper to list in AUD, but you dont get much chioce of
where you list it on ebay.com.au, there only one big "test & measurment"
section.

Please understand we try and market some products to US buyers, and ebay
does not allow us to list items in our ebay store in AUD only in USD which I
find annoying.

Hey mate, just a few points to note about advertising on newsgroups.
(im not saying you arent doing them, or are doing them, but i know you
are a new poster here, so i thought id give some hints.)

1. Post any ad on a public forum and people will put you down, and
abuse you. THis won't affect your takings much, as newsgroup users
have grown to expect this, unless there is something really wrong with
your equipment, and you are operating unethically. ( seen in some
other aus. newsgroups i frequent) AFAICS, there isnt anything wrong
with your system, and I was actually referred to you before you came
here by someone else.
Amount of abuse will grouw exponentially as a fuction of the number of
times you advertise. Keep it to 1.

2. Pissing people off is a bad idea. If you piss off 1 person, at the
very least you will lose 1 customer.

3. Pissing off people is surprisingly easy on usenet.

4. IF you are selling or promoting anything for personal gain, don't
argue with people about the quality of your service. DO correct them
about technical details though.

a. arguing about your service sounds unproffessional

b. Lets divide people up into 4 categories. first, people who hate you
nomatter what you do. second, people who bought from you and like you.
thirdly, people who bought from you and dont like it. FOurthly, the
people who have never bought from you.


Typical incompetant businessman on usenet:

he advertises
group 1 puts him down
he gets pissed off, and starts abusing them
second group of people get encouraged and start complaining
owner defends his product
3rd group seeing defece is already there, is reluctant to add to the
owners defence.
4th group sees lots of people putting down a service, only one perosn
defending it, and an irate owner, and doesnt buy.


Now for the competant owner:

Ower posts a message, not saying how great his stuff is, or how low
his prices are, but just saying he has stock of a certain item.
thereby he discourages the first fgroup.
Second group (perhaps) shares their bad experiences
Owner waits a few days
3rd group, seeing no defence, comes to owners aid, talking about their
great experiecne. remember, people are more likely to insult that
complement spontaneously.
you come in, and dont argue with the second group, assert that their
complaints are valid, and have been rectified, or are being rectified
4th group, amazed at your professionalism, pulls out their credit
cards.

I should write an faq ;)

Thanks for your input, I only plan on making only the one equipment post, I
too hate multiple posts of people spamming newsgroups, about %60 of that
