Yeah saw it on the today show the owner and his agent was on he is telling them that Ebay is Pre-Qual bidders and she was asked how much she is going to make on the Deal she answers very softly 6% I think I will put Seattle on the Auction block

I find this rather interesting. This was a bid cancellation. New user on feed backs Just where does someone want a new ebay buyer to get feedback if he doesn't win auction....
The last retraction said Seller changed description I thought you couldn't change description after there were bids.

Those are just cheap excuses to pull out of the auction. There are a lot of game players who are doing this just for their own entertainment.

Real estate auctions are different than regular auctions, which most (all?) of the newd outlets have failed to point out. Real estate listings are advertisements, akin to a classified listing, and a bid is meant to show serious interest. It is not meant to be be binding, which makes it different than the rest of eBay.
News outlets have failed to point this out due to 1)incompetence, or 2) the real story wouldn't be as good.
Just goes to show you how thorough and dogged our media is in pursuit of a story.

The guy that was selling the town was too bright, His ebay name is his email address. Wonder how many people emailed him criticizing him and such
