I just saw a G-force go for 119.50 on ebay. It's disappointing that a seller will charge a certain price and then turn around and except alot lower than that on ebay.
Unless they have a reserve on it, it could go for $50. Most of the ones i see on there at the moment are all Buy it now starting at $141+ shipping and going up!

There was no reserve on this one.
That's the risk you take when you don't set a reserve. I'm sure the seller made practically nothing on it aside from the shipping charges.

When you list with no reserve, you do run the risk of not making a dime. As for the seller doing something wrong...absolutley not. When you have an advertised price, that is what you would set a "buy it now" option at. When you start and auction with a low opening bid and no reserve, the market determines the price. If you thought $119.50 was a good deal, you should have bid. I bet the guy who bid $119.50 would have bid again, and the price would have climbed. It takes two bidders to drive up the price of an auction. If there only happens to be one bidder left in the game, he gets a deal, and the seller takes a loss. Been there, done that. You cannot accuse the seller of accepting a lower amount than advertised. The only thing he accepted was eBay's rules when they stated that when running a "no reserve" auction, you are committed to sell to the highest bidder when the clock runs out. The seller has no say about the price in this case. Personally, I hate reserve auctions. I am more likely to bid on a "no reserve" auction. This is true of the majority of buyers, and most sellers know this. This is why most are willing to take the risk of running a no reserve auction when they are fairly certain the market will generate a reasonable sale price.

I won a NIB 15# Cobalt Bomb for $130 shipped just a few weeks ago. I was surprised to see it actually show up with the specs I requested.
