'Bargain' Is Accompanied By A Warning ¤Frankenstein¤

  Author:  47699  Category:(News) Created:(4/23/2003 4:28:00 PM)

A Shanghai man is stuck with 32,000 pairs of shoes after buying them in an auction.

He thought he had picked up a bargain when he successfully bid about £2 a pair for the Dunlop shoes.

But then he learned he could not resell them because he was not an authorized dealer of the shoe company, reports China Daily, quoting the Shanghai Morning Post.

The man, named only as Zuo, paid a total of £68,000 for the shoes but then received a warning from the company not to resell a single pair.

No retailer can sell the shoes in China without Dunlop's authorization, Zuo was told.

Zuo filed a lawsuit to return the shoes to the auctioneers, arguing the company should not have withheld such key information before auctioning the shoes, the newspaper said.

But a local court ruled against him, saying there was nothing illegal about the auction.

***It says that he can't sell them in China. All that says to me is that he should sell them on Ebay to buyers outside of China. It seems like a simple enough solution.

Date: 4/23/2003 6:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 54570    Dont feel too bad. I bid $5.00 for a lot# in an auction. I only wanted the six light fixtures that was on it. They were worth about $100. each new at Lowe's. Turns out that the entire lot# consisted of about 70 lights, two computers, 2000ft of multistranded wire, a video projector, and seven oak tables/drawers from a chemistry lab. All this for five dollars. And to make matters worse when I forced the locks on the cabinets they were full of beakers, bunsen burners, a microscope (keeper), vials and slides. I have resold the lights for about $30 a fixture (4 ft florescuent types) the cabinets I have made into a benchtop in my shed. The microscope I have in my room with the slides. Fun to look at. The wire...... in cars, undergound, telephone lines etc..... So be careful of what you bid on at an auction. Oh yes btw I have only 11 lights left. Any Takers. My buildings are very well lit. As are my friends as well.
