Long time, no post gang. Just wanted to pass on that a very rude and questionable individual is selling a collection of rare modern cuffs on Ebay but doesn't seem to know jack about them, so if anybody is missing a collection..... dudes username is : detbailey. He might be totally legit but he made a deal with me off Ebay for 5 cuffs then promptly waited until he got bids and raised the deal, so he had no honor as far as I am concerned.
Buyers beware, and I'd not do any business with him just because he takes money over his word.

....or are you a woman scorned?

Once a bid is placed the auction is ON.
If it is ended early with bids placed then the collectors feel cheated.
Always bid early to try and stop others making offers.

Why does he need to know about what he is selling? It could be from a deceased estate! Are you implying that Detective Baily stole them?

Recently an Austrian seller did the same thing to me - ending an auction 12 hours before it was due to end. I was the high bidder. The seller does not respond to my e-mails.

German Law actually does give the buyer / bidder some protection; it allows you to sue the seller. There have been cases where the seller was forced to deliver the item to the highest bidder the time the auction was stopped. (German speaking collectors can read up here:http://www.internetrecht-rostock.de/eba ... eenden.htm).

I'm very unhappy about this, because I had placed high hopes (and high bids) on that auction. I feel cheated out of a very interesting item. I'd rather not find out that someone else here did that.

Did you offer to buy items already on Ebay?

Kevin,
He had the cuffs on Ebay for a week and received no bids. I made an offer AFTER the auctions prior to him putting them back on, which he stalled accepting , and then put the cuffs right back on with pretty high starting bids. But then made me a counter offer , which I accepted. He again waited a couple of days before replying, and said he know had bids on one of the cuffs and could only sell 4 of the 5 pair. The it was down to 3. Basically he renigged on the whole deal when he saw he might make more money via auction.

To "an observation"- Not sure what your deal is, but first, you called this assclown detective bailey.... that is not his name and I can promise you this jerk has never been a cop. Also, the rest of your post must be in Spanish, because it doesn't really make any sense.
I just would like the support of members in this forum that I have known for literally a decade or longer and also to give them a heads up on a suspicious lot of rare cuffs, and a very dishonorable seller, Ebay or not.

Maybe next time set it up with a Buy-It-Now and pre-approved bidder. This way you'll get the item. This way you don't waste your time and have some kind of protection by using Ebay.
