<p>[QUOTE="Grass Man, post: 8339847, member: 79939"]I had some dude buy a WLH of mine from a friend who listed it on Ebay. He found a cheaper one and declined to complete the purchase. Soooo, I went to his listings and did a BIN on his most expensive item, then refused to pay for it. He was quite irate and pointed out that my seller friend allowed free returns anyway so the situation was different in his warped opinion. He never got paid for his coin. Another seller listed a $1600 shield proof inadvertently as a BIN for the opening price. As soon as I saw it, I bid to keep someone else from stealing the coin from him and told him to relist it at the higher price and I would purchase it. He was VERY APPRECIATIVE and I refused to accept a discount for "honesty." When the coin arrived, he had enclosed a small gold coin as a token of appreciation. We became friends and I helped him dispose of a large number of coins that he was selling due to failing health. Winning an auction is a contract. It is not the prerogative of the seller to decline to deliver. But where there is clearly an honest mistake made, only a rat would take advantage of a situation like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
