Schrödinger's cat walks into a bar. And doesn't.

Someone contacted the seller after the fact. I don't know what was said, other than the pen is not cocoa . The seller refunded my money and attempted to cancel the transaction, which I denied. My 'thanks' was anger as sarcasm and not really directed towards anyone other than the backbiter/s.

I shouldn't have posted until I had received the pen. Because really how many people comb through the ended listing on a daily basis.

Ah, now I at least understand the post
Geez, there are so many levels of educational material to how this is evolving, that we should have it in the "Elements of Collecting Forum".
In the context of a recent thread on backchannel dealings, which was rather gentler than many such threads throughout the history of the internet, we now move into a thread on back-back-channel dealings. More in next post.

I say this a bit flippantly but not (i hope) snarkily. Upshot is... announcing items before taking possession carries risks. Too, back channel offers that have some connection to actual item value tend to go south less often.
Not sure any of this helps.
As an aside (yeah, let's open cans o' worms), while most folks will be happy to comment on an active ebay auction when folks on Boards have questions, there are risks to bringing to the attention of the crowd unsold pens of interest.

I guess this begs the question, how serious is the ebay "contract"?

Doesn't the ebay "contract" bind a seller who sells an item to a buyer? In other words, if the pen truly was set up as a $75 BIN with no previous offers, then you and the seller have a completed contract bound by ebay.

You would think that's that case, but unfortunately ebay does not always follow through on things.
Two years ago I bought a sheaffer set for $250, without making an offer. It was set up as a buy it now.
I then posted the link on the pen network because I was really excited about it. The next day, the buyer had cancelled the deal.

Note that that is not the meaning of "begs the question"

David,
Why go to school when I can get knowledge for free here

Ouch,
Well.. the info you get here is worth every penny you are paying for it
Here are some question begging links
http://begthequestion.info/
http://en.wikipedia....ng_the_question
http://www.nizkor.or...e-question.html
In my view, it might be nicer if "begging the question" by convention in fact meant something that really does inspire us to ask a targeted question, but history uses it in another way. Whether the language should evolve I'll leave to more clever linguists...

I hope you're ok, I never intended to hurt you
Looks like I am a BTQ abuser - I never knew the proper usage until now.
