We're having a good discussion here on this topic.
But I may need to make one thing perfectly clear re. my original post.
I have NO disagreement with the seller of these floor
mats. He has likely had to put out a very significant amount of real paper
dollars to get his first quantity of these mats made and the majority of that
was to have molds machined from which they could be produced. The auction
format is an outstanding vehicle to get them to us the buying public. His
starting price is extremely fair and he has no guarantee of how low bids will
stay or how high they may go. This is American capitalism at its best; the
greatest form of business the world has ever seen. Risk your own money in
the market place and reap the results of your decision to take that risk whether
good or bad.
My entire gripe is with people who are absolute fools
about the paper in their wallet. And then there are those hundreds if not
thousands of Ebayer's who have no concept of how auctions work and bid for the
pure fun of bidding and have no intentions whatsoever of ever paying that bid if
it wins. I've had it happen to me.
