The guy offered it to me at a buy-it-now price for a little more than he ended the listing at.  I'm waiting to hear from him, but it seems a little hinkey at this point.
 
Bill, tgo

Yes, I was watching that too... hope it works out for you Bill. That was a real good bargain.

Apparently the guy relisted it with the buy-it-now price we agreed on.  (I had asked how much and he said he wanted $888.  Obviously I agreed immediately).  The guy didn't tell me when he was relisting, though, and someone else snagged it.  Bad communication.  Oh well, I would have gone almost $1000 more than he sold it for.  I guess we both lost out and whoever snagged it got a GREAT deal.
 
Bill, tgo

Bill, that sucks a bit.I wonder if he knows how much he could have got for her....strange times.
 
Communication dissolves confusion...my favorite saying.
 
This world has alot of the latter...

I was watching that one, too - he sold it under a different auction to someone in the $750 range, and the person has zero feedback. Maybe he backed out. Anyway I was shocked to see the BIN. Sorry, Bill...that would have been the deal of the year!
But yeah - some warning bells.
