[ARC5] T-17

when that happens you should see a line through the price and "best offer 
accepted,"  but you never know what that offer was.

The "make offer" option was available on that auction.  Is it possible that 
it was sold to a bidder who made an accepted offer?  Would that have shown 
if that were the case?  I have won auctions at a lowered offer price and I 
believe the auction listing never showed the accepted offer, just that the 
item sold.

Hello Mike,
not really. If the bidder doesn't pay the auction fees are cancelled. A 
cancelled auction will still be listed as sold and nobody other than seller 
and buyer knows that it was cancelled.

I am not sure of eBay promotions in the US but in Germany eBay has a sale 
today: For "private sellers invited by eBay" list an item at EUR 1 starting 
bid and pay maximum EUR 1 sales fee not the usual 10% even if it sells for 
$5k.
Similar eBay promotions occured in Germany at least 5 times within the last 
quarter.

I thought of that, however, it sure would cost a lot in eBay fees just to do 
that. 73 – Mike

The seller may have done that himself to make it look like it sold
