Not to be a downer.... I didn't bid high for auto spots...but this defeats the purpose of a player auction, if the buyer wins and transfers the player to another party separately outside of the auction process.

Another process should be considered of opening the picks back up or some random process... IMO...

He bid the price he was willing to pay. You were free to bid higher.
I assume he bid on all those spots not thinking he would get them all. But he was willing to pay for them if he had to.

Not that this is what happened here, but you basically just described someone placing bids for someone who couldn't be around. I see nothing wrong with that.

If you placed the high bid, you have the right to do with the spot as you please, as far as I'm concerned.

Sure - But if I bid and win, the make an "agreement" to transfer. Then did I really pay? If my agreement includes me getting compensation (I'm not sure if it did) for the transfer, is that really legit? Is that the spirit of the auction?

It’s fine. I’m pretty sure I won a couple spots. Anyone is free to offer me any amount for one of these spots now. I’m free to sell them any of those spots. I don’t plan on it but it’s not against the rules nor should it be.
There are a couple spot I wanted and missed out on. There is nothing wrong with me trying to buy those spots off the person who won them

When I stopped last night, I had it. But when I started again this morning, it reverted to an older version... so I started again there. Then when I got to the shop, the version from last night was still on my computer and I lost all I did today... started again from there. Some posts I have updated 3 different times in the last 18 hours.

Fair point… I guess the bidder takes the risk of not being about to transfer if they can’t pay…

There were 3 you would've won. My apologies for not seeing. I did get you 1 of those because I won it haha. No charge for that. My mistake.

Once you win a spot, you can transfer it. It is better that then I refund the old owner and then invoice the new owner.

If you split a spot, one person has to pay me & that is who I ship the cards to. Once you have them, then you can split any which way.

So if you get a transfer and have other spots, is it better to wait until invoice to pay all at once or pay what you won then do the transfer payment? How would the shipping be calculated for the later.

If you are INTERNATIONAL, you might owe more once we are ready to ship - just actual costs!

There may be an error or two in the list (on its way). Just POST IN THE THREAD and I will correct it. Please do not PM me.

Ok, your total is in red and includes your combined shipping/supplies/paypal fees to the best of my ability.


Paypal fees went up a bit this month: 3.49% & $0.49


Signature for totals over $250 = $2.65

Shipping went like this:

1 400ct box OR 2 300ct boxes = Padded Flat Rate = $8.00 or $10.90 with signature
3 400ct boxes = Medium Flat Rate = $13.75 or $16.65 with signature
5 400ct boxes = Large Flat Rate = $19.30 or $22.90
Over $1000 = Express Mail Bubble Mailer & Insurance = $39.30

Please go to www.paypal.me/blowouttv to pay and put your username it in the comments section.
You can also use blowouttv@blowoutcards.com via paypal goods if the link will not work for you.

Make sure your address is correct! <---- I cannot emphasize this enough!
I can only ship to the address that you provide through paypal.
Payment deadline - Saturday 9/18 at 9pm EDT

Thanks!!


(List is on the way next...)

Complaints:

It happens every auction.

There are no ties. One post is always first.

You must bid at least $2 or $5 (once the spot reaches $20) higher than any previous bid - even if both are time stamped at the same moment.

You will NOT be able to track all the bids in the last two minutes. It is not possible.

Bid what you are comfortable paying. If you win, great! If not, no big deal!

I am not gonna ship everything priority (although I want to). It just doesnt seem right to charge $8 shipping on a $6 spot.... so any total under $40 I will ship 1st class. I just hate 1st class nowadays.

I'm gonna be open to adding a spot since I only won Arenado for $6! Only went after that one because he and my son share a name
