A. What, exactly, is your beef? Sounds like the "person" was being factual. Did the poster state that your auction was fraudulent?
B. The number of people who read these pages or the flatus emanating from CR is extremely small compared to the number of people who buy vintage bike parts on eBay (assuming that's where your auction was). So, the chances that this "person" ruined your chances to make a killing are very small. Who's got 1940s French bikes that they need headsets for? Not very many people.
