no thanks
ah my op friends. how i would love to see some of you becoming regulators at future and derivative trading stock exchanges. with the ethics displayed here, there would be no more bubbles and financial crises.
It'll certainly be interesting to see how much it goes for. After all he's not just selling a 'Pandora', he's selling a 'Pandora delivered ASAP' which arguably is more valuable.
My view on this is it's supply and demand - if the market will bear a higher cost than was originally paid there is nothing unethical about it. Buying low and selling high is the principle that any distribution business is based on. The only question to me is about the eBay rules relating to selling things that can't be delivered yet.
Seems like he ordered on the 3rd October, so he's not SUPER low on the list. How much would you pay for one of the top 100? Or one of the first 805 hand-fixed by MWeston?

That would be a disaster! How can I ride the waves if there aren't silly investors with big ideas making them?hch said:

Maybe it was at the seller's request? He might have just decided that it was too much effort and requested a refund.

I can understand it, at least it's what I would do if I were to cancel atm. Reason being when I bought my pandora in USD the USD - AUD Exchange rate was about $.6 - $1 were as now it's more like $.95 - $1 which means if I were to cancel atm I would lose money. But I don't know if this guy had the same problem with exchange rate since he bought from EDs store and probably in his native currency. So I guess what I am saying is, I like stories.
