SUPER!Note the bid of $20.

"Now THIS might go for $500.00......."

Or maybe the auction will end without anyone even bothering to place the thirty dollar minimum bid.

What happened was that the seller ended the auction early.

"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."

 

[d-jones]

Not quite.

The first listing with a minimum starting bid of thirty dollars ran its course with no bids. Then it was relisted with a reduced minimum bid of twenty dollars. Then it was ended early because the item was no longer available for sale.

Buy the way.

If you get that Hoover model 26, will you be posting photos of it here? I'd love to see it after you've had a chance to clean it up a bit and address the incorrect bag issue.

You let the cat out of the bag! I wanted the 26 to be a surprise posting! The guy is coming by with it Saturday morning.

P.S.: When people cancel a listing with the reason "the item is no longer available" it's usually because they changed their mind about selling it.

DOH!

Sorry about that. Not long after I posted that question I began to wonder if I should have just sent you an email instead. One of the drawbacks of not being an upgraded member is I can't go back and modify or delete a post if I change my mind about it. That and spelling mistakes will likely cause me to upgrade at some point. Note the use of the word "buy" instead of "by" in the comment "by the way." Things like that make me crazy.

"'Sarright."

Hmmmmm not sure why the auction said it was no longer available, I offered him $35.00 for it and he accepted it, anxiously waiting for it's arrival next week.

 

[electrolux137]

Well, I guess the listing said "no longer available" since he sold it to you. I must say, you got one helluva a deal on that!! I hope you'll post some photos when you get it!
