Traders should at least look at what they are putting up to see if there is any issue with pricing. Putting a 5000 dollar pricetag isn't going to make anyone buy it. Bit of a waste of time if you ask me. Sometimes what you don't get it a blessing in disguise!

What might have happened is the seller sold the speakers elsewhere, ie not on trademe, which you aren't supposed to do. So rather than withdraw the auction they just put a silly price on it which noone will buy and let the auction expire as normal. Computer Repairs Whangarei Remote Support

Yeah sounds like they were sold elsewhere as above. People should be made to withdraw their auctions rather than just up the price like that I have moved across the ditch. Now residing in Melbourne as a VOIP/Video Technical Trainer/Engineer.

Yeah, they should really take their withdrawal fees down a bit. Having auctions where people bump the price up just muddies up the search results.

I didn't know that. I thought people just like trying to get attention by putting their prices really high for some reason in the hopes someone rich in the pocket and not in sense will buy it. Like those eggs that buy bread that looks like Jesus or a pair that looks like a Kiwi. Sometimes what you don't get it a blessing in disguise!

Seems wrong that trademe can withdraw the auction just because of the high price?? Surely you can put whatever price you like on your own auctions and if it doesn't sell it's your loss no one elses. Where does it end? Can I complain if a price is too low? Computer Repairs Whangarei Remote Support

I have often though about buying such silly prices and not paying just to annoy the person who ruins this on trademe...
