Would you bid on this auction?

[DisneyLovingMama]

I'm not considering it, since I'm already booked, but it intrigued me. Would you trust someone on eBay enough to bid on/buy it?

Here's the auction

 

[S. C.]

Nope....The highest I have bid for anything on ebay was about $62

 

[ClarabelleCow]

hey - we bought a car on e-bay for $35,000.00!!! Yup, we were nuts! Didn't speak to each other for about 12 hours. Best thing is we could get double for it if we sold it right now!!!

NEVER

you can get the same deal through a more reputable seller elsewhere for the same or cheaper. besides, think of all the fees this seller is incurring by using ebay.

 

[pdarrah]

Nope - they only have 21 "feedbacks" and most of those are as a buyer. I wouldn't want to be one of their first customers for something that expensive!

According to the auction notice, she is a "Square Trade Verified Seller" -

PER EBAY,
"Seal Member Verification
All Seal Members must have their identity and/or contact information verified as a prerequisite to being approved for the Seal. SquareTrade uses a range of tools to ensure that we verify the contact information and/or identity of each Seal Member. These tools include:
3rd party databases (e.g., Equifax).
Physical letter in the mail with a unique code - the Seal Member has to receive and return.
Fax of a utility bill or other official documentation identifying the applicant and their contact information.
For businesses - a Dun & Bradstreet # or an Employer Identification #
Important: While the above identity and/or contact information verification does NOT guarantee a seller's performance, it does provide buyers with additional verification and increases the likelihood of a more successful transaction. "

I guess this makes it a little less risky, but I'm still not sure I would bid on something that expensive on Ebay.

My sister bought a race car for her DH on Ebay. My DS friend bought a jeep from a guy on ebay. They both had no problems. I don't know if I would take a chance on a cruise from an ebay seller though.

I have bought lots of stuff on ebayy-never had a problem.
However, I checked one of the dates listed and allseastravel.com beat it.

So its not the great deal the seller makes it out to be.

Looked up one of the September Dates, and the price was $1951.00

So it is less than the auction price...
