    Good pictures and no real description, caveat emptor I suppose.

    Ps - This is a 'Disguise' hammer, not Rubies.

    You could say the name is in the listing title I suppose

    Does it squeak when the dog chews it? That is just nasty.

    That shipping costs more than what I paid for mine at Target. I suspect a very angry person when that box is picked up.

    I actually tried to, but the buyer's ID was protected. He's gonna wig out when he finds out what he's done. I also hear a curious female voice asking, "Honey, how much did you pay for that?"

    It's not been available for a couple of years now. eBay policy. You will only find out once feedback is left, and by that time, money would have naturally already changed hands. As I said, it still says 'disguise' in the title, and there is no misleading information at all in the listing. There is NO way this poor fellow is getting his/her money back

    And most definitely this. It could well be a 'she' though, getting a pressie for the hubby / bf.

    When it arrives they will flip and probably open an
    Item dispute. But they cannot claim item "not as described" as it was stated that it is "a Thor sword for costume or display". So the description was accurate, just vague. eBay might side with the seller as it is not their fault the buyer didn't ask more questions or research more.

    Agreed. the buyer screwed himself. The seller made no claims that aren't 100% true. No questions were asked. I actually contacted the seller with my congratulations.

    The seller didn't do anything wrong here; he didn't lie, merely posted a vague listing. Opening bids were for less than the toy normally goes for, so it didn't have a minimum either. The bidders that drove the auction up were just sucked into that temporary blackhole where you think that bidding on something (and because other people want it, it must be "hot") without researching it is a great idea.

    Some might call that a "lie of omission".

    Looks like the seller used a sock puppet to bid up the price of it too.

    I have a question as a seller on eBay...
    Why does everyone who sees a bidding war happen, automatically accuses the seller of shill bidding?

    I have wars take place all the time, and sometimes the one bidder has zero or one feedback and people message me that they reported me. I just laugh it off and send them a nice message stating that everyone has to start at zero. We all did, and it would have sucked if I kept getting my early buds canceled because I have zero feedback. I give these people the benefit if the doubt, and I have been burned by zero scored people who never paid, but more often than not, they have come through.

    So I was just curious why I always see people assuming this is what is ALWAYS going on?

    Maybe there are just two crazy people caught up in the moment.
