I told him I was close and would come help him look around the neighborhood for it and he told me no thanks it was a lost cause.
I then told him if he had offers for more money I was willing to offer more. He stumbled / rambled a bit and asked home much I was willing to pay. I told him to go fv€k himself.
I've had similar things like that with Craigslist, but that's more of a free for all. Until you have the stuff in your hands you cannot count on anything. I kind of thought in general Ebay is a bit better ... until now.
