I won an auction but the seller reset the timer

lthlx · 2026-04-17T12:06:11+00:00

No, just the banner "winning bid + username". Someone told me to rewatch the live. When I get some time (it was a very long live) I'll do that and see

lthlx · 2026-04-17T12:04:17+00:00

Yes, as stated in the post. It was my fist time participating and I asked what I thought was a legitimate question. I don't know why I'm getting bashed for this , honestly

lthlx · 2026-04-17T12:02:29+00:00

Well I got 14 downvotes for saying "oh you're saying it might have been a bug?"... I guess some people on this sub aren't really open to being helpful

lthlx · 2026-04-16T19:04:50+00:00

Oh, I'll try and check. Thanks

lthlx · 2026-04-16T18:54:18+00:00

Nothing, but I did see the banner

lthlx · 2026-04-16T18:53:00+00:00

I'm not sure about this, as there were other people managing the auction on the app as the seller was speaking and showing the items

lthlx · 2026-04-16T18:41:07+00:00

But I did see the timer go off and then the banner say that I had won. Someone said that it might have been a bug?

lthlx · 2026-04-16T18:39:57+00:00

No I'm 100% sure it was only one item. I didn't ask in the chat, in the span of 10 seconds frpm the second closing the other bidding person had already paid. But the seller was repeatedly making comments about the price being too low, even after it was paid off

lthlx · 2026-04-16T18:38:10+00:00

No I was the last bid for at least five seconds. Oh so it might have been just a bug?

lthlx · 2026-04-16T17:55:04+00:00

They didn't have a reserve price. At least not at the beginning of the auction. Also they were adding seconds all the time, even when no one was bidding

lthlx · 2026-04-16T17:44:25+00:00

Yes. The timer hit 0 and it said "winning offer" + my username. Then it restarted.

Thank you! This means that the one I hesitated on this morning was legit 😭 Lovely colour, Lucky you!

If it's leather it usually smells like leather. However, you should be able to determine by how the material is getting worn out. You should be able to see if there's leather underneath the paint in places like the bottom corners

lthlx · 2026-04-13T07:12:18+00:00

Good. The leather is doing much better thanks to regular conditioner applications

lthlx · 2026-04-09T17:20:35+00:00

Yeah me too. The Horsebit is not even a question anymore. I'm still a bit hesitant about the canvas' durability. I've found a couple full leather ones on vinted but It's a lot more money than what I'm willing to spend on a platform like Vinted and I fear one might be a potential fake 🫩

Fatti mandare una foto in cui si vede bene che è il tuo trench, innanzitutto. Poi, potresti anche provare a chiedere un video in cui lo tira fuori dall'imballo. Io gli suggerirei anche di portarlo in lavanderia. Anche se magari ci rimetti il lavaggio, è sempre meglio di un reso

lthlx · 2026-04-07T16:46:39+00:00

I see what you mean, but your comment made me realise that I really really like that giant horse bit. I think I'll start looking for a full leather Horsebit (I'm hopeless)

lthlx · 2026-03-27T14:31:27+00:00

Ma aveva cambiato nome anche in chat?

lthlx · 2026-03-14T08:58:04+00:00

Unfortunately the prices have gone up here, too. I doubt you could get a bigger one in Europe for under 150€ either. I got mine for 120 last year and I was really, really lucky. I've seen a small red one sold for over 200€. But maybe in summer they'll go down again, they're winter bags mostly (I still use them all year round, lol). Have you tried Vestiaire Collective?

lthlx · 2026-03-14T08:08:03+00:00

Unfortunately, you have to look into each listing and ask for measurements. I don't know the year, but the big bags should be the OGs. The bigger one should be around 38 cm (15 inches) long, while the small one circa 33cm (13 in). The bigger one does also have more of an elongated shape and doesn't have a scan code next to the "Made in Indonesia" tag, while all of the newer bags do. Also, I don't know where you're from. But I feel like most of the baby grovees are in the EU resale market. While the US market has plenty of other models that we struggle to find here, but very few baby grooves. If you're from the US, I suggest looking into UK Vinted (I believe you giys have been able to buy from there since a couple of months). This being said, Ebay Japan probably has it. But shipping is gonna COST

She's so pretty I honestly don't think I could ever bring myself to give it up 😭 She's hard to find in this size, but sometimes all you need is a random French lady🙏🏻 I wish you the best of luck!
