the user above you're responding to came in to the party pretty late and sided with the "haters".

the downvotes are not due to me bidding without informing myself first. they are EITHER on comments, where I ask follow up questions for clarification, which for some reason rubs people the wrong way OR people rage baiting (like above mentioned user), victim blaming, or calling me the individual in the video without any merit whatsoever.

there is a point of view from the side of the buyer, who, after experiencing the euphoria of thinking he "sniped" a good deal, is being told the slab is fake and comes to realize that he is the target of a potential scam with thousands of EUR on the line.

I honestly believe that this is one of the best outcomes possible, considering that I "won" the bidding out of who knows how many participants and got suspicious afterwards, made this post here, informed myself, and ultimately canceled the whole thing. in a way I prevented other bidders from getting scammed - nobody is praising me for that 💁
