This conglomerate of items was listed last week for $5,500 as a B.I.N. (Gee. Hard to imagine it didn't sell.)
It is re-listed for $3,000 as a B.I.N. However, what is in the photos and what is actually being sold is not entirely clear from the text of the posting, as evident by the inquiries made by (potential) Buyers at the bottom of the auction page.
Personally, I think the SELLER's responses to the inquiries are not particularly gracious . . . considering how poorly the ad was written in the first instance.
Is it just me or do others feel that when someone wants $3000 they should make their ad very clear to reduce the need later for long-winded explanations which only add to the confusion?
Update: I wrote to this SELLER and made a suggestion that he simplify the listing so that it is clearer as to what is actually for sale. He replied that I WAS THE ONLY ONE who was confused by the listing. (One only has to scroll to the bottom of the auction page to see that this is not the case.)
This fellow - I think it's a guy - wants $3000 but has absolutely no concept that Buyers on eBay need to CLEARLY know exactly what it is they are bidding on . . . to avoid disappointment and inconvenience for both parties down the road.
FWIW: No matter how much I would like to own such a BOTW display, I certainly will wait to see if another turns up later from a different Seller.
(End of rant.)
