JMHO.

I am happy to take bids from anyone once I'm comfortable knowing that the bid is legitimate, and that the person has the means to make good once the auction is over.
The history of my auctions has shown that companies are willing to step up to the plate and make some hefty bids and donations.
From my experience raising money in mainstream, I know those types of bids will dry up very quickly if companies feel that they're being forced to bid against people that have no ability or intention of actually making payment.
Of COURSE I want the bidding to go as high as possible, but at the same time, I don't want the bidding being incremented in a manner that's unfair to those actually willing and able to make final payment.
Again, I am in NO way speaking badly about jasonir, as I've said before. However, given all of the circumstances, I wanted time to look into things before accepting the bid. That's something he wasn't willing to provide. |
