I am assuming that you were hoping for a higher
selling price...
Yes, of course!
First of all, you should have set a reserve price on
the auction or a minimum bid of what you
wanted to "at least" get from the auction.
Puh.. A minimum is possible.
But a reserve? I feel uncomfortable when I see this "reserve not met"
thing in other auctions. So I don't really like that idea.
The buyer (whatever his rating) may have just signed
up.
Yes. That's the reason why I refused to limit the group of people who are
allowed to bid. If this
should turn out to be a scam, I'll think different when it comes to further offers.
I think I would have included the native language
write up rather than just in English.
Oh, why? Because of my bad English? The chance
to sell this kind of stuff to someone in Germany is
quite a bit lower than selling it to elsewhere (i.e. US) in the world. So I decided to
write in
English only.
Second, sometimes just a picture of a box is just what
a buyer gets. I would have taken pictures
of the box insides or even included a stock photo of what the disk pack is that is in the
box.
If you looked at the pictures I have put onto the auction you should have seen
that I actually have
photographed a pack lying on the box. Another one, of course. I did not want to open the
box -
opening the box would have spoiled the whole thing.
