You made a lot of assumptions, sure that you don't have a hidden agenda?
Yes, I made a couple assumptions. Nope- no hidden anything. I just don't understand why a couple folks here are raggin on this guy's attempt to sell his aircraft. That is quite unfair! If his "opening bid" is high, then I guess it won't sell. So what. But don't try to relabel it as a "reserve" (that word has a quite different meaning)- only Ebay has the authority to call it whatever they want. (¯`·._.· £ãrrÿ ·._.·´¯) "Dashi" wrote in message ...

This thread has got to be the dumbest thing to spar over in the history of this NG. Entertaining though, "The other poster"! Yup. That is what's disturbs me. A few dumb/mean people have made the aviation newsgroups inhospitable. Someone like the OP saunters in and posts something *perfectly* reasonable, correct and on-topic, and someone else has to make an ass of himself tearing down the post. --kyler Don't you think that you might be over reacting just a little bit. This is a newsgroup and people will have different opinions on acceptable advertising. It seems real dumb to me to set an "opening bid" at $63,000 and then state that there is no reserve. You apparently disagree, so be it! Dashi "Larry" wrote in message ... It seems real dumb to me to set an "opening bid" at $63,000 and then state that there is no reserve. You may think it's a "play on words", but it's all correct. $63k is the lowest he will take and he is displaying that right up front- what's your problem? Lemme see he Opening bid=$63,000, No reserve. Yep that's correct, just like Ebay labels them. Of course you can start your own auction site and then you can play little word games your self. If the "opening bid" is higher than the "price police" think it should be then call it a "rip off start" or other such label you happen to pull outa yer ass. -- snip -- and someone else has to make an ass of himself tearing down the post. Agreed. There's always somebody that feels the need to express an opinion which seems to be drug induced. It's hard to believe they actually think that way. The guys just trying to sell his aircraft- a beautiful one at that. Maybe these snide remarks are from none other than jealousy. I guess it's rough to admit to yourself that you'll never sit in the pilot seat of such a classic bird, let alone *actually* own one!! Oh well, Here come the flames. Bring them on! You made a lot of assumptions, sure that you don't have a hidden agenda? Come on now, how much is this guy paying you to say those things? Dashi |

So many planes and so little time. :-) $63,000 seems like a steal for a Stearman, but what do I know. Nice that there's no reserve too. What's it cost to maintain a Stearman?

Oooohhh...so this was about "acceptable advertising"? It seems real dumb to me to set an "opening bid" at $63,000 and then state that there is no reserve. He probably said it because it was true. You apparently disagree, so be it! These are well-defined words in the eBay community. It's not simply my opinion. Your derision of the poster for using the correct terminology to describe his auction was completely inappropriate. --kyler |
