ebay unfortunatly is full of crooked buyers and sellers. it is hard for us Honest people to get a good deal there.
I had a similar incident a few weeks ago regarding some Cobalto stones. you know the guy in OH who list a set like every week. anyway i bid like 43.87 or something stupid. when I check my email I the following
you have been outbid
you have a second chance offer
auction ended sorry you didn't win.
the seller claims nothing suspect happened the real buyer just changed his mind but the second chance offer was 2-3 min before the auction ended weird.
I never have reserves. if I want $30 for a set of brakes I start the bid at $28
