Re: Shrill Bidding (Are we getting hosed?)

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Armand,  in 4 years of ebaying  I have never had another bidder contact me, 
this sounds very suspicious, my choice would have been to tell dannie 01 
that he is welcome to it. Actually if you haven't sent the money yet, and I 
know this sounds bad, but if you feel wronged, tell the seller you have no 
intention of following through on the deal and take the hit on the negative 
feed-back.

Regards,
Kim Bueler
