Talk about an Ebay Flake....

I was all set to bid on this auction a few weeks back

And this was actually the second time the item was listed and ended prematurely, but I couldn't find the first listing in ebay's completed listings. After the seller ended it for the second time I emailed and asked them why they kept ending this auction and he/she told me that someone made her an offer offline, but if I wanted to make a higher offer then I could buy it....I didn't even respond. Then they listed it again last week for the third time:

I stayed away this time thinking that seller too flakey to deal with. Now tonight in one of my daily searches the same box comes up for auction again.

Just thought I would warn anyone that if you bid on this you're going to be going against a shill bidder and a flakey seller.

Thanks for the warning Dan. That is definetly a seller we all should stay away from.

I'm confused about what I am looking at in the balls. They look like wound balls with no seams and stiching. Are they baseballs?

I don't know what they are. Some kind of playground ball I would guess. Interesting box though as it only holds six of those balls.

Yep, playground balls/softer baseballs. I really like the box. The seller was probably shocked that someone wanted to pay her more than $30 for them. Then images of early retirement and panic at the prospect of selling them too low set in...ha ha.
