Luckily for them, there's apparently no issues with returns.
And for whoever has the $190 bid in, what part of This. Is. Not. A. Plum. are you missing?...

In contrast to this one that I was watching, and when I meant to pounce & bid was walking to the train station... really should have set a snipe!

Was that Plum? It certainly was dark for "maroon."

First this is a Demi that were it a Plum, that size would reduce it's value.
It closed at to me parts value for Burgundy pieces.
Any bid here would be a Braille bid without a lot more info from the seller. Based on the close price and no posted Q/A, I suspect the
seller Was Only answering any questions backchannel and those answers pointed clearly towards burgundy.

Plums are pretty uncommon if for no other reason that they were made for such a short time but it's my feeling, not based on any facts to back it up, that the plum and cocoa colors are a little more often found in demi than in full size.

Ebay offers great reward but also great risks. Mind you, I've bought a couple thousand pens there over the years, but one really must take the claims of non-pen people there with a grain of salt and sometimes must take the claims of pen people there with even a larger grain of salt.
