WTF happened in this ebay auction?? - hal - 08-18-2013

here's the original listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/KFC-Kentucky-Fried-Chicken-Coleslaw-Recipe-99-cent-BUY-NOW-Auction-/130949088033

But it's really short.

There is a picture of a KFC bucket of coleslaw and this description: KFC - Kentucky Fried Chicken Coleslaw Recipe - 99 cent BUY NOW Auction

That's it - there is no more description. The price is $.01 with free shipping AND there is only one item for sale. So this listing is gonna generate $.01 if all goes well.

It didn't...

Here's the feedback:
NEGATIVE - Poor description. Bad communication.

Are you fricken kidding me? A 1ยข sale that ends with a negative?

There's a bunch of negative feedback, all basically complaining that he doesn't communicate well.

This auction ended July 16th and the feedback for it was posted July 20th.

I wonder how long it took for the seller to send the email with the recipe.

If you bought a recipe from someone and they took their sweet time emailing it to you, I imagine you'd give negative feedback, too.

I'm more interested in how you came upon this auction, and why you care about it.

Obviously hal was the seller.

Same seller who can't even make decent feedback selling penny-recipes is also selling a MBP.

Dunno about the rest of you, but I wouldn't risk my money on an auction from someone who tried and failed to build an eBay reputation like that.

He's selling trade secrets for a penny?

A bargain at twice the price.

He's selling stuff for a penny that you can search the web for and score with a mere 10 seconds of your time.
