" . . . and without prearranged terms to do so."
I think what Rob meant by "prearranged" in his email is that the request for alternate payment options did not take place before the auction. The buyer says that he contacted Rob right after the auction.
It's one thing to say "In the event my winnings total in the mid-five figures, would you consider some unusual payment options?"
It's another to bring this up after the auction is over. Further, why should the fact that a winning bidder "preferred not to make a huge deposit in (his) checking account at one time" become the dealer's problem?
99% of winning bidders paid with one check within the time frame. Rob worked with this bidder, with no late penalties. To call out Rob as a liar on a public forum because an email was mis-interpreted seems unreasonable.
