I figure I better say something. I am the current owner of DigitalVideos.com. When I saw Name Guy's bid today at $1,750 I sent him a PM asking him to get back to me. I checked the board quickly and noticed the number $2,000 and mistakenly thought it was someone else's bid. I then sent another PM to Name Guy saying "well, there's another bid...I guess it's going higher". I went back to the board and re-read the post and was a bit confused myself.
I IMMEDIATELY posted sold for the BIN price of 2K, which is what I obviously would have done more than 4 minutes before if I had read the post correctly. I understand Name Guy's point, as it was kind of hectic and I wasn't 100 percent sure what was going on. At the end of the day my intent was to immdediately post SOLD when I saw the BIN price. I have the PM's that I sent to Name Guy and it clearly shows that I mis-interpreted the sellers BIN as a bid from another member. Either way, the loser was going to be kicking himself when this was over. I did not tell the seller this story until after the name was in my account, so the fact that I initially mis-read the BIN did not create a sympathy factor for me. I truly believe that the seller did NOT intend to mislead anyone, even if the wording can be interpreted in a few different ways. Since Name Guy has continually bashed the seller and no one has said anything about "the other side of the story", I figured I would put this matter to rest. I will not respond to any posts, so have at it. A few months ago I was victimized by Fabulous and I complained for a few days. I promised I wouldn't be a victim and that I woudn't do that anymore (no one cares anyways). It's no fun when you feel you have a legitimate argument, but this would never have happened if I had read the initial BIN correctly. Obviously Name Guy was willing to risk the name for the $250 savings, or else he would have just bought for 2K.
