You should only be paying the next increment above the second highest legitimate bidder, and no more than that. If they're making you pay more, dispute the living HELL out of it.

@agamoto
I got offered what my highest bid was at. I am not obligated to buy it though. I called and they said that I was competing against legit bidders til the last bid. I think I still got the comic for a decent price so I plan to just buy it. Was hoping for a discount but you can't win them all.

Should have held out for them to include a free facsimile edition, free shipping, and breakfast with Kevin Feige !

I went to checkout when I got home and just noticed that the comic is not in my cart anymore...wtf I was told I had 2 weeks to checkout. This was according the the customer service rep I talked to on the phone. I am not a happy camper.

I'd like to say I still turned out alright, but that would be a lie. flanders private msg quote post Address this user
That makes no sense. Hope you're not in the middle of a mood swing.

@flanders

Of course they are closed. I went to the auction results that said I am the winner and clicked the link to proceed to checkout...nothing is added. I am getting very impatient and now have to wait another day to see if I bought one of my grails. Plus work sucked today...fuming right now.

It still shows what I believe it your bid as the winning one on the website. Maybe it's just a technical error. I wouldn't worry about it.

@flanders

It was in my cart and now it isn't so hopefully you are right and it is a technical glitch. I hope it didn't get removed from my cart, re-listed and then bought. And yes the 1720 was my bid.

The only concern I would have is the 3 minute extension. is it possible someone put a higher bid within that 3 minutes? 8:39pm to 8:43pm

@GAC

Yeah someone did, that bid was removed because "it was not a serious bidder". I was the next highest bid.

@moodswing you should also go to the mybids page under your account and screenshot that you were the high bidder for that item. It wouldn't hurt to have as much evidence as possible to show you in fact won. Here's an example from my much less expensive wins yesterday

When I bought my GSX 1 from MCS, it took three tries, three phone calls, and a thread on the CBCS forum where I showed my ass in order to get it purchased. After that, it was a postal nightmare getting it from Texas to Tennessee. It finally arrived and everything was okay.

You can always try posting on the CGC forum as well, I've seen @mycomicshop respond there. Not sure if they have an account here.

Everything was fine in the end, but I had to PM Conan in order to cut through the red tape. MCS customer service is okay, but they are limited in what they are authorized to do. At least in my experience any way.

Yeah, the lady I talked to this morning seemed nice. Wanted an explanation of what happened and if I was shilled up. Who is Conan? owner?

@moodswing If it makes you feel any better, I received an email for my winning bid and when I click on the link to pay, my item isn't in my cart either.

I know this may sound stupid and I know you're not stupid, but did you make sure you were logged in when you checked your cart?

@DrWatson

Yeah, I had 2 items in my cart. I would have never known I had the gsx in my cart if I didn't randomly add another comic. Today when I checked my cart, I just had the 1 comic I added yesterday. GSX disappeared.

You got to hand it to the comic store owner for naming his son Conan. I wonder what the 2nd option was.
