How fair is this?


I just noticed a interesting auction. The seller states that his item is listed on both Audiogon and Ebay. And which ever site gets the highest bid, wins. Maybe its just me, but I am hoping he gets no bids on either site.

It does seem odd to have two auctions on the same item. I'd be dissappointed if I was the winner on the one auction that comes out lower priced than the other auction. At least the seller is up front about it.
He will automatically be committed to two buyers and that spells trouble.

Arthur makes a good point. Although with dislosure I suppose a really excited bider can at least monitor both sites. Pay closest attention to the one closing at the later time.

I, for one, would much rather use Audiogon auctions than Ebay. This could influence my decision.

A bigger question would be--does Audiogon and Ebay approve of this?
Me,I would look for the same item in the "used",here. Unless you think you can do better playing both ends against the middle---'Cause that's what the seller is doing.

No they don't...this is from eBay.

You are agreeing to a contract -- You will enter into a legally binding contract to purchase the item from the seller if you're the winning bidder.

If the AudiogoN ad were not an auction, but rather a for sale ad, it wouldn't be as big of a deal (to me).
