auction page on facebook

I think they have a program/website that will do that style of bidding for you.

Figured someone would figure out who that was and you nailed it Eldon. Yes, seen the clock getting goofy on that site as well.
The irony with this one is when I went up to OK and picked up the 185, the 180 was still there and the seller advised the winning bidder was from Canada and backed out after getting a couple of shipping quotes. Seller said something about not being allowed to re-list it on the site when that happened and tried his darndest to get me to take the 180 for any price.
Had another fella tell me about questioning another on-line site where they "moved" the clock on the live closing in the last minutes. Said they told him it must have been his internet connection acting up as they did not do that . . . .
Buyer beware.

I don't understand Austin's beef with my page. We have simple rules we ask to do to keep the page running. Basically no reserve but put a reasonable starting price that is a minimum of what you'd take. We try to not let people put huge starting prices because it's basically a for sale as, not an auction and defeats the purpose. List a payment type and of there is shipping and cost. Auction ends 24 hours after last bid which is pretty nor!also across all the auction pages. We try to keep chit chat to a minimum to not clog up posts and keep bids from being missed . That's what started all this. I cleaned up a post and he got pissed his posts were deleted. He kept bitching and I asked him to drop it and he decided to be a dick and mock me so I booted him. It would have been a cool off period and I'd have let him back in which we do fairly often but he decided to send me nasty PM's and bash me here. We've had everything from manuals to 2 different D21's sell with minimal issues until this all happened. No one is being forced to be on my site or participate in it. If folks don't like it, dont join. This is getting old.

I have no control over what Larry does on his page. Take it up with him.

A guy sends me an e-mail and says he will pay $1200. if I put a "buy it now" so he can purchase and pickup in 2 days... I say OK and the deal is done.. Next day I get an e-mail from a second guy who is IRATE,  screaming and cussing me for "selling the tractor out from under him"  ???  He wanted to bid on the 7th day at the last hour and I ruined his plan. He thought I OWED him the tractor  !! .......... I STILL don't get it ???

Had almost the same exact thing happen to me on a private sale. Had a fairly high dollar tractor advertised for a very fair price and guy came and looked and kicked the tires, hem hawd around and tried to get me to lower the price. When i would not he said he wanted to think about it. I told him before he left that I  would call him if somebody else got interested (exact words)  While first guy was  sitting on his hands waiting on me to lower my price another interested party who knew the tractor contacts me and asks if the tractor is still for sale and how firm is your price? I said the tractor is still for sale and price is firm . I also told him that another is other interested party.   He says I will take it , how do you want he funds?   So the tractor was sold to the second guy and to this day (as far as I know) the guy who cam and looked and passed on it thinks I am a no good SOB for selling the tractor out from under him  because somehow he had first right of refusal on MY TRACTOR just because I told him I would let him know if somebody else was looking.   I am with you Steve, I dont get it??

Didn't have this happen, but KIND of........
Guy had something for sale.  I said "I'd take it.....want me to send you a check?"  His answer; "Naw, bring the money when you come to get it."......so a couple weeks later, which I told him it would be, I go to get it and low and behold, he sold it!  FOR LESS than I told him I'd give him.  NOW, I really didn't give a rat's arse, but he HAS my phone #.....least he could have done was called me....

Then there's the guys......like me......who just plain forget some things.....(yup Kenny)....and things get away.  That's an .........aw heck moment....... we all forget.... ......
I guess a guy should write stuff down.....I ALREADY DO......Now, where'd I put that piece of paper??? 

Ted, after waiting 2 weeks you should have called to check before you drove off.... I see your point, but lots of guys say " I will take it" and never show up. ... First guy with the money normally gets it... unless someone calls and says " I will be there tomorrow at 0900" , then I would not sell to someone the night before, but take his number.

I am still waiting for a guy to show up for his stuff he bought never sent the money, called or would answer his phone said he would be there by the week end never  saw or heard from him  So I resold it and to this day i have no clue where he went to.

what was it or is it?
