This is one where a followup or response saying "list is 129.99" may be warranted. 99 is an OK price for a set that lists for 129.99, IMHO. And I agree with Alan that retracting bids, when done in a way that manipulates the auction DOES deny the (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

Subject line is wrong: we're talking bid retraction by the buyer here, not bid cancellation by the seller. I'd say all the reasons given in this thread for the bid retractions are against the eBay "allowable reasons" for it (see the TOS (URL) and (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)

If you're not willing to sell at the price that the lot ends up at, set your starting bid high enough, or have a reserve in place that's high enough, that you take what you get and are happy. I see a 4559 going for 175 right now. I only got 150 for (...) (25 years ago, 25-Jan-00, to lugnet.market.auction)
