what's with the disappearing auctions? The last couple of
IMSAI and altair auctions were "removed" almost immediately
upon completion. Does anybody know what the final price on
the altair 680 with the riser board and memory expansion was?
What about the IMSAI that was over $5000 with over a day left?

Apparently that is what happens when the seller is no longer an
eBay member, for whatever reason. Presumably the seller cancelled
his eBay membership (or possibly was banned)?

I've seen auctions pulled when the seller was selling something for
someone else and they yanked the item out from under the original
seller.
For instance, there was an ADM-31 terminal for sale that I had bid on.
The auction was cancelled and the item was removed because the seller
told me that the estate sale had changed their mind and didn't make
the item available to him. Later, he acquired the estate and put the
item up again, but I missed out on it that time (my fault, not his).

Hi
I thought it was that the buyers were using stolen names.
It would seem that a lot of people are using these names
that they have phished for and bidding items up. A single
person may have two names that they are using to bid the
items up.
This seems to be happening not only for computer items but
also for old radios.
One fellow in the radio group has attempted to sell the same
item 3 times and each time someone bid phoney bids. Causing
the auction to be canceled.
This is really bad for the sellers because people get tired
of bidding on an item.

Ebay cancels the auction. Most likely because the people that
have had there name stollen inform ebay that someone is
using their name. eBay sends notices when items are bid on.
The real owner of the name will notify eBay.
There are a lot of these emails that are phishing for names.
It would seem that there is more and more of this lately
or someone has a way to break into eBay and get passwords.

Thats happened a lot in the last year or two, is an ebay account get
hijacked, in fact there was a newspaper article about a town in
Lithuania that actually was working together in concert to rip people
off on ebay...
Essentially they will hijack an ebay account
Post an auction for a hi price item
put in the body of the auction "We sell these for $5,000 but email me at
xxxxx at hotmail.com and I can sell to you for only $1250"
they then get all of these people to deal off of ebay and sent Western
Union payments
or they'll get a ton of bids on this $5000 item because it started at
like $800 and then they then ask for Western Union payment.
Then you wait and wait for your winnings which never come.

New subject: OT: Re: With all the other crud going on on ebay...
From: "dwight elvey":
So you are saying the seller's account doesn't get cancelled as
I described, and it is just that a particular auction that was
removed due to fradulent bidding?
We are also wandering off topic...
