Of course, if he’s reading this, then he might decide to stop offering those periodic sales events.

I'm sure it was one of those discounts, because my inbox gets flooded with e-mails from eBay when it happens, which is when I remember there's stuff I want. I just noticed that the discounted price went up considerably after I inquired about that item.
Another seller on eBay (the name of this one escapes me) did something similar a while back, but this seller actually had the "Best Offer" option open. I offered 90% on a $5K item, and the seller declined and raised the price to $6500. I couldn't tell if the seller was annoyed, or if it was part of some business strategy where any item to raise the price on any item that generates interest.
