    2 Auction numbers,

    I believe this seller had accidentally listed this for a Buy It Now of $0.01 in Auction # 14512723 on Nov 6 2017.
    Then caught his error by adding "Out Of Stock'.

    Nov 7 2017 listed it in a Buy It Now for $1,1000.00 in a new listing..... Auction # 14512832. It sold that same day (11-7-2017). Buyer was named Baron 1.

    By searching the seller forty five feedback it was only after looking in the:
    Feedback Missed By Seller, that you could see no feedback left by seller or buyer. But it brings up the SOLD listing, that also shows down the page a 'You May Also Like This' that shows the first auction for the same gun @ $0.01.

    Here if interested:
    Oooopps Listing: https://www.gunauction.com/buy/14512723

    2nd Auction: (See You May Also Like... down the page) https://www.gunauction.com/buy/14512832

    Feedback Missed By Seller (and Buyer in this case)
    https://www.gunauction.com/help/feed...&evaluerstat=2

    See my new Thread about a $.01 Crosman this seller sold

    FWIW

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Missed feedback proves nothing. I have missed hundreds of feedbacks on ebay and at least a few dozen on GB simply because people just will not leave feedback, sellers and buyers. This has nothing to do with the actual auction - its just people. I've had many auctions where they wouldn't even answer an email to see how they liked the item. You send it, they get it, that's it. No more contact, no feedback, nothing. I quit thinking about it. Now if I sell an item I always give the buyer a positive after they pay for it but they still won't do mine. I guess its just a step they don't want to be bothered with.

    Lazy, yet they get a good rating by natural course. They look good and don't help others. Been there and dealt with it. I'll prompt a couple times and then delete everything pertaining.

    I-44 read the above slowwwwly and closely........ Especially: BUT IT BRINGS UP THE SOLD LISTING, THAT SHOWS DOWN THE PAGE, THAT THIS ITEM WAS AT FIRST LISTED FOR A PENNY..... A BUY IT NOW PENNY!

    SO IN THIS CASE.... MISSED FEEDBACK SHOWS SOMETHING. By looking in to Missed Feedback, I was also able to stumble across a Crosman that sold for a Penny.
