lol owned. Good luck finding a way to sue them in China

no dimes

If the looters would work a deal with the police officials, the bidders' body parts will be up in auction.

lol good for them

Are these bronzes the same ones that made China pissed off a few weeks back?

Personally, I think they did a good job there.

yup, in that french auction

Pointless unless he already smuggled the bronze heads back to China.

Uhh so did he bring the relics back to China? Did I miss that part in the story?

hm.... i highly doubt they would deliver the packages with out gettin paid first

so
he didn't pay
he didn't get the stuff.....................so?

should call up 2nd highest bidder offer it to him at the price he offered

lol, way to own the auction ppl.

this guy is a hero now too...good luck trying to serve him a suit in china

Pretty dumb story unless he actually has the goods...otherwise its just gonna go to the next bidder and china still has shit all.

its mainland china ppl ... what u expect .. lol

lol pwned good for him

he's prolly a national hero by now

next second bidder is probably chinease too. so its the 3rd.

next time they have the auction for the artifacts, u know it will go for higher as its been contested by CHINA, they just have to barr bids coming in from CHINA,,

it was expected china would grab some guy to be their bidder... whats ridiculous is he chose not to pay.... he would have been more of a "hero" if he bought em and donated them to China


its like how Ghandis famed belongings are going up on the Auction block this month, India wants them but says they're going to bid on them or find someone to bid for them... granted Ghandi's belongings isn't property of Indias but it could argued to be

I don't really see why everyone is praising him

If I'm the winning bidder on this Reventon

then I don't pay for it, and don't take delivery of it, do I have baller status? Hell no. Have I even really done anything at all? Nope.

By not paying the bid, it creats a financial lost to the french auctioneer, since they have to redo all the paperworks and stuff again.IF by any chance that the 2nd highest bidder already lost interests at the items, both items might not be sold after all.

I'm pretty damn confused myself as to why it is... But who sells a reventon on ebay anyhow? :P

I totally agree with cococly. This just shows how ridiculous, ignorant, and selfish people can be sometimes.

And screwing up an auction is not the appropriate way of bringing a political or nationalistic message.

The fact that these items were looted many years ago does not make what this person did correct.

He's not a national hero and people cheering him on should be ashamed.

^ I am sure they have humiliated all the French people

reading some of the chinese forums and news group...it's full of "OWNED!!!" replies.

so no, I think the chinese think he's a national hero or something
