Selling your allocation for a high demand item is kind of wheeler dealerish, but nothing beats selling the location of a 1967 Corvette that is partially hidden and might or might not be for sale.
I am sure some of you recall the guy that would sell you, for $2000, the location of a 1967 Corvette that was parked behind or next to a garage out in the country.
The seller of the information clearly stated that the car may or may not be for sale, that would up to the buyer of his information to determine.
It all came to an abrupt end when another forum member also knew about the car, and posted the location for free.
Why? Just curious about your logic in reaching this conclusion.
Seller has 300 feedback transactions, and 1 negative in the last 12 months. 98% feedback would be 5 or 6 negative total.
I am really not trying to be difficult, I truly am curious about why 98% is bad?
Very fair question, and thank you for clarifying.
In my second thought, if only one negative in one year, it is very possible one previous buyer was totally unrealistic. So I was wrong to point that out without fully checking the sellers history. I just looked at the 98 percent as being what I considered a questionable rating. Like everything else, there are two sides to a story. For something like this, I have no problem, someone, trying to make a profit, but would first speak with her/him and determine if a real deal and know the particulars. One good thing about eBay, as you know, there is buyer protection. Little protection with Paypal for the seller.
anyone recall 1978 ... cars are still showing up not driven only collected or flipped for profit.
Yes, but a lot of people bought Pace cars and stored them, thinking they would make a killing down the road. And many of them lost their butts on those cars.
I saw more than one never driven, never titled Pace Car sold 10 - 15 years after the fact for less money than they paid for the car new.
And just an aside - In all of the years that I judged Corvettes for NCRS, only one car received no deductions in the category that I was judging, which was engine. That car was a 1978 pace car with 12 miles on it. Zero point deduction for engine category. The car got a top flight.

The one negative in this case was a buyer that was upset because the item was sold locally and the seller did not get the Ebay ad removed quick enough. The potential buyer hit the Buy It Now, only to find out that the item was already sold (to a buyer local to the seller's area).
I cannot understand how or why Ebay would allow negative feedback in this situation.
And just to be clear, I do NOT know the seller in this case.

Funny how history repeats its self. Every time a new model comes out with big hype everyone gets on the band wagon. Most of the time they turn out to be the less desirable ones a few years later.
