Well....may it R.I.P.

Well, its confirmed now. Its dead. I emailed yesterday to ask if its still available and this is the nice friendly reply I got:

"Sorry, we did throw it away---there weren't any bids. Too bad but that is the way it goes sometimes."

I hate impatient people. The damn auction wasnt over yet! WTF!

That's definitely poor business if nothing else. No one who knows anything about ebay bids before the last minute!

[zenithfan1]

WTF! is right. That sucks. makes me sick.

That's not what I wanted to hear; but, that sort of thing happens all too often, I'm afraid. What burns me up is the people that call to offer me a free TV and then trash it if in not there within 30 minutes of hanging up the phone to pick it up. Yes, most people wait to the last minute to bid on ebay auctions! I've found that I can possibly get stuff cheaper that way. I've also learned that ebay is the last place to sell TV's (or any large item) unless the potential buyer lives within driving distance.

This set was the bottom of the line Zenith and this unit I think retailed for about $559. It's cabinet was the scarcer one (fancier one) The regular cabinets of this style were $499.
