That's a fair point about his bid being pushed up. The third-place bidder was considerably lower. But what he bid initially was rendered irrelevant by the fact that he agreed to purchase the books for $200 (in my humble opinion anyway). And the books are massive. Beautiful old Shakespeare books that are not cheap to ship, even at media rates. So I was giving him a break there. Sigh. It's just frustrating when people don't have the decency to do what they say they're going to do. All he had to say was, "Sorry, I changed my mind."
