A couple days later...tragedy struck. I get a message from the seller stating that just as he was packaging my pennant for shipment, his mother dropped a glass of water shattering it and spraying my pennant in the process. He was sure I would no longer want it in "that condition" (i.e....wet) and apologized for the inconvenience. I said no...that's fine. I still want it. Haven't received it yet.

Definitely an excuse to not sell an item that sold for an amount lower than the seller expected.
If a seller is expecting a certain amount, why not just list it as a Buy-It-Now and avoid these types of shenanigans?
Then again, I bought a BIN and the seller pulled the same crap...
