cholla Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hyperspace:Depending on how quick you need it usually things come up on ebay again unless its something really rare.If you can wait the price might be better next time.The way ebay works sellers can set any price they want to on shipping as long as they let you know if you ask or post it with the sale.Some make a profit this way & some ship at cost.I think this one is making profit on the shipping.

tdawnaz Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 i was gonna suggest ebay...just do another ebay search and don't post it here...if someone here is doing that it wouldn't be very nice... another suggestion would be to contact the hilton that sells it in vegas and ask them to ship to a hilton in ur area...or ask for the distributors contact and see if they'll ship u empty bottles...the problem with shipping is with the atf...actually on ebay u'll get empty bottles unless they are in ur city and they hand deliver...but whoa if the atf catches even that...all alcohol bottles on ebay are supposed to be empty according to the tos agreement...so if either of u breach the buying/selling contract (which starts when the seller posts an auction and is completed when a buyer posts a bid) on a product that contains alcohol...u'll get no help from ebay and other bad things will happen...i found all this out as i asked questions about selling collector bottles of jim beam and ezra brooks...too messy... look to buy empty bottles and put ur own stuff in them...or have it shipped hilton to hilton...i'm sure they can do that... wow...whatta yapper...huh?

Hyperspace Posted September 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 The seller added to the description of the item after I bid, so I was allowed to retract my bid. In Indiana (where I live), this transfer is prohibited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdawnaz Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 well hyperspace...i still say that was a crappy thing to do...given the fact that it was what u went looking for. u just had to bring ur hand down to hurt somebody that hadn't done a thing to hurt u...well just so u know that seller will know who did it...they are obligated to tell him... ur what's known as the bidder from hell...just gotta cause trouble even tho it has nothing to do with u...just for the fun of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seller is responsible for there actions (to obey to law) and if they get caught...it's there own damn fault for being stupid. They know the rules. I really don't see the big deal...so what if he can't rip people off with his 3 bottles of beer. Also, I don't care if the seller knows who did or said what.

Hyperspace Posted September 8, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 Another thing tdawnaz, bidding on that item, which was going to be used in a crime (alcohol being illegally transported over state lines, which is a federal crime) puts me in conspiracy of that crime. So I did what I had to do to make sure I didn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 Someone else (not the person that reported him to ebay) could ask that guy to sell only the bottles, but I don't know if he'll sell them to the person that reported him anyway.. What is the penalty for that bad item anyways? Delete of account? Ban? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperspace Posted September 9, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 9, 2005 and who went looking for it?...knowing it was illegal?...and a federal offense? I did not know this at first. I found out by checking my states laws. Also, the guy is still selling at least 3 more alcohol items...looks like he's asking for trouble...a slow learner...if I really wanted to be a d**k, I could blow the whistle and dry him all the way out. No, this will not be "water under the bridge". The bridge is burned. Mods it's time the lock it down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
