Ebay mystery violin

[pahdah_hound]

The auction was a joke. I did not intend for anyone to buy the violin or the artwork or the ashes or anything else. I sent links to the auction to some friends and customers and they started bidding. Then with one day left one guy bid $1,000,000! You can check the bidder's list and see who it was. I knew that things had gone way out of control, so with 15 minutes left, I tried to cancel the auction and found I couldn't! All I could do was cancel the individual bids. I cancelled them as fast as I could, but new bids started coming in as fast as I could cancel the old ones. Then my computer shut down for a short power nap and the auction ended. Nobody wound up buying the violin or the ashes.

I cannot say here that I will be relisting it soon-for real, as a piece of "folk art".

Hi Jesse,

You mean to tell me that somebody bidded $15,000 for the violin, that somebody had no money to back it up (his bid)? ( Is this legal? and he/she is joking? It certainly mess up the market ) /yuen/

OK- Jesse- here's one to go with the April Fool fiddle. Maybe you can sell it to whoever bought the other one.

Hey Jesse

Where do you get all these violins for sell? Your violins or you sell them for other people, like consignment sales ?. ( Trade secrete, I know?)

It is interesting to look at them. Wish you a lot of lucks and successes. ?yuen/
