Speaking of deadbeats...I won an auction for a NOS Cinelli 1R stem a couple of weeks ago. Paid for the stem, then got a refund, and an email from the seller saying that he had sold the stem locally.

I left him negative feedback. He came back apologetically, offering to find me another NOS stem and express ship it to me, at no cost to me. I guess the negative feedback really hurt him. As soon as I receive the stem I will retract the negative feedback.

I did offer to pay for the stem, and I wonder whether he legitimately forgot to end the auction when the stem was sold, or what...

So ultimately I don't know whether the seller was a deadbeat or just has ADD
