NR high bidder joined same day...good or bad?

Austringer62

Hello,

I have only sold three items on GB so far. The fourth item I listed, a Rossi revolver, was sold, but the high bidder never made payment. I gave it several weeks, but he would not respond to my emails/messages. That high bidder was rated "NR." I realize I am new as well, but I am definitely once bitten when it comes to "NR" bidders.

I currently have two listings, one of them is the Rossi relisted, and one shotgun. Today, with only three days to go, I have a NR high bidder for my shotgun. I clicked on the user name, and it showed that person joined today!

After a number of conspiracy theories going through my head, I'm now trying to see the bright side. Here is a person who went through the trouble of signing up for GB in order to bid on my shotgun, that's probably a good thing, right??

    Before you go any further with your NPB conspiracy theory's, review these threads:

    Several threads here at one time about what sounds like an excessive number of non-paying bidders got me to thinking (character flaw on my part).

    If this is an excessive number what is behind it, if anything?

    Could it be organized?

    We know anti-gunners ( as well as all the others on the list below) are capable of anything.

    Dems?

    Antifa?

    BLM?

    Soros?

    Muslims?

    Russians?

    Chinese?

    Chinese-Russians?

    Chinese-Russian-Muslims?

    And what can sellers do at this point?

    Set a feedback rating threshold?

    Thank you for your replies!

    Yes, I will let it ride, but I am nervous about it.

    Thank you for the links, they provided me with much better theories, mine weren't nearly as well thought out! They really made a lot of sense, and on top of that were backed up with anecdotal evidence.

    I'll see what happens, and will hopefully not have a repeat of last time.

    Thanks Again!

    Seeing something I wanted to bid on is what got me to sign up several years ago.
