The response from the CMP in post 49 is short and sweet. Yes, think the next bidder on the list would become high bid, unless that bidder also declined. Who knows-who cares I guess....way out of my price range.Quote:

at $10,000.00, $12,000.00, $20,000.00 etc, I would be wondering what was wrong.
He got buyers remorse. It asks you in big-ass bold "Your maximum bid is $1069.50 for this item" so how the hell he missed that doesn't pass the smell test.
What happened is he didn't want to deal with bidding over and over and put some ridiculous number up there expecting to get it for $5-7k, only to be blind-sided when it hit $39k. If I were CMP I would be calling 2nd, 3rd and 4th in line asking if they wanted it because there are guys out there with legitimate money that would pay $20k for that gun.
Maybe the same person who handled the carbine sales tickets years ago is back as a consultant.Quote:
