i just won a few minutes ago. He is in Ontario so I will try to pick it up if he is within 5 hours from Detroit.

 

so much for that. The sale fell through.

me: Can I pick the clock up in person? Please let me know. Thanks.

him: Not doable. I do not have a store. I only accept Paypal. Payment is due within 24 hours. Please also let me know
your zip code as the shipping price is most probably less. Thanks.

me: Zipcode is 48152. Please reinvoice me if the shipping cost is less. I will Paypal you first thing Friday (3 days terms per your auction). I am very excited about this clock and look forward to receiving it. Thanks

him: Hey Nick, Thank you for your reply. I will resend you the invoice as the shipping to your location is actually a few dollars less. You're going to love this clock! Let's keep in touch.

PM from Fchat member: Please be careful sending this guy the money. I have reason to believe he doesnt actually have the clock. He used stock photos from a yellow clock sold on ebay almost two years ago. When I ask him to send me any current photos he said he was to busy and couldnt be bothered. when I suggested he let a friend of mine drop by and pick up the clock personally and pay him he said he didnt want anyone coming to his house. He said if I didnt abide by his terms he would just sell it to the next guy in line. I have his phone number if you need it. Just doesnt smell right to me. If you do get the clock successfully I welcome you to the small ranks of ownership. Quite the converesation piece. Good Luck

me: Hi, I've been thinking this through and I would really feel much more comfortable if I could pick it up in person. I can meet you at any location. I can be flexible to accomodate your schedule. I can give you cash, money order or cashiers check and will still pay for the shipping costs. This is a lot of money for me and I hope you can understand. Thanks

him: Nick, this is unbelievable! Not only did I already tell you that pick-up is not available, but I also clearly stated the shipping terms in the auction. Did you think you would win the auction and then, start dictating your terms? Now, I guess you think that I am going to accommodate your request because of the amount of money? Luckily, this clock is in super high demand, and the under bidder has already asked to buy this clock for more than your bid, and others who missed the bidding have also made higher offers.. As you seem to insist on changing my non-negotiable auction terms, consider this sale cancelled. I will either relist this clock, as I believe that the auction price was too low, or I will sell to one of the other parties who have made offers this morning. Please do not submit payment. The clock is no longer available for purchase by you. It looks like you have been on Ebay long enough to know that when you want to change the terms of the auction, you ask questions before you bid, not after you win. Again, the clock is no longer for sale to you!

oh well. I feel bad if the guy is legit. I wasn't demanding anything... I was just trying to see if he would work with me (even though he was under no obligation under the sale terms).
here's a link to the auction:

If you are ever in Detroit, beers are on me
