Well it seems like Brownbag has let us down and is not going to pay for his share of the flyers.
I'm stuck now as the seller wants full payment and I cant do that alone.
I can pay for my winning bids plus can add more towards the rest, I have also had a donation from richy1976 but we are still short by approx. £55 - £60.
I'm trying to bargain with the seller but as I'm not the winner of the lots its not easy...
I don't see why you can't finance these alone as only 4 days ago you claimed to have offered the seller £200. Yet you only managed to place bids on a maximum of 14 auctions out of 29 and was outbid on 4 despite telling everyone you would be bidding on almost all of them and claimed to me you had maximum bids across 16 auctions.
.
Then you publicly applaud me in this thread for winning some of the auctions, when I won the majority at 19 and you won 10 which mine cost 5x more (excluding all postage). I private messaged you between live auctions to state mine had already risen to £80 and requested how much yours had totaled to which you estimated £100 plus when in actual fact it was more like £20 and mine was £100. Which I had to confront you about & request we paid half.
I asked twice what spec scanner he had and he failed to tell me, I private messaged the seller to confirm if certain flyers were included in the auction and if it was possible to provide me a list of all the included flyers which he overlooked & ignored my request twice then only partially answered it the third time claiming all flyers had been boxed up ready to go.
I emailed admin requesting Samsons activity level and whether he thought Samson was capable of scanning and uploading 240 flyers in a reasonable amount of time (4 weeks) due to certain aspects like file formats, lossless file sizes, color working environments, internet connection speed, file storage hosts etc etc and received no response so due to all of the above I have no confidence or trust in Samsons ability to scan & upload all of the flyers or to communicate with me honestly and accurately so I withdrew my offer and said he could buy them all if he wanted.
He's clearly lied about offering the seller £200, has mislead about his involvement in bidding on flyers. It was the last 45 to 90 minutes I checked all 29 auctions and could see Samson had only bid on 14 so with-in the last 30 or so minutes I placed maximum bids across all auctions I could see Samson wasn't present on or had already been outbid on and emailed to inform him I was bidding & happy to have them shipped to his address as per my early gesture that I would indirectly strengthen his bids (Assuming he was bidding on them all) which I found he wasn't so I directly bid on the ones he hadn't and had no intentions on bidding on.
It's disappointing to think I could trust Samson, especially as he is publicly supporting a dementia charity. Shame on you!
Obviously I no longer feel like paying for the flyers as Samson won some of the good ones and I have no one to scan
