Scott ForrestLeon, I think that is perfectly fine. If I've been waiting patiently to put in a final bid on an item I want, and someone gets the seller to end early, I don't see a problem with contacting the person and asking them what they sold it for (but they will almost always lie). However, I will not deal with the person at that point. I've made offline deals with sellers and then had the item yanked out from under me because of an unseen offline bidding war with other board members who got into the fray late, and I'm not into that. If you make a deal, it's a deal - that's the way men do business. If you back out of a deal, you're a pussy and I'm through talking with you...period.
