You can't make him sell you the guitar, neither can eBay. You can give him negative feedback with a tasty comment.

Sorry to hear you are getting screwed, some people suck, that's a fact.

I know, but I can ruin the 80+ and 100% positive feedback he has accumulated over the years with a nice, big, fat "Fraudulent seller - would not sell the item I won!" feedback. Plus, karma is a bitch - this kind of thing comes back to haunt.

A year ago, I listed a pretty valuable guitar on ebay. On the last day, the bidding was at $800 (I expected $2000), but I had many watchers so I let the auction ride instead of pulling it for a local offer. One problem - it expired the night of the Superbowl, and no one bid but some dude from England - $810. I was going to lose $1200 on the sale.

What did I do? I took my lumps and sold the guitar at a huge loss to the ebay buyer. It was not the buyer's fault that it didn't go higher, and I would be breaking my word not to sell to him.

I wish this dude would do the same, but as we all know, some people's word doesn't mean squat.

That's because, you don't suck my friend!

You are a man of your word, to few and far beween in this day and age.

No, I agree. It shouldn't be allowed to happen. That's why they have a reserve price available. If the guy was concerned about getting a certain amount of money for it he should've set a reserve.

Ya know, I've never understood that whole reserve price thing. It just seems deceptive to solicit bids. I always start my items out at the lowest price for which I'm willing to sell. Is there more to the reserve price concept, or is that it? (A simple yes or no would be fine - I don't want to turn this into an evilbay thread)...
