Quoting LIV4PSI:
He had to add the 11% he is going to lose in ebay fees. I don't understand why you didn't just take offers from the interested members on here, and cut out the middle man
This is why. Sorry I didn't just take offers here, but I didn't want to break the rules: 3. Post must contain asking prices, this is not eBay and we don't do auctions.
I tried to get a consensus on whether this was a fair compromise or not, as there was so much interest. I only waited three hours and I suppose I could have waited longer, but I figured if the auction ended next Thursday night that would make it much more convenient for pick up over the weekend. If anyone feels slighted by this I apologize, that was not my intention. I assumed everyone would be happier that they were getting a fair shot at it especially considering that the first several PMs I received about it were for shipping, which I would rather not do and I should have stated that in the original ad (I copied and pasted from a local dsm forum where shipping would not be an issue). Again, I apologize and I hope you guys are willing to bid.
Also, prove_it, the items that you were interested in are not on ebay and the trunk lid is the only thing that I will be posting on ebay. I'll PM you to clear up any issues and answer your original PM conclusively.
