if you regretted bidding on it, why didn't you just tell me you had bidder's remorse? i'm an honest guy and i would have let you off the hook without the need of a contrived, sympathy-evoking justification. then again, your smarmy move now makes me think twice about being so nice to fellow ebayers.
shenanigans, indeed.

I truly do owe you an apology. I am very sorry for lying to get out of an auction. At the time I thought it was the easiest way without getting into the s/n issue with an unknown e-bay seller. I was dead wrong in
doing so. Your feedback rating is outstanding and I shouldn't have doubted it.
Once again, I'm very sorry. I'll go crawl in a hole now.
