That's my hunch as well. Lucky for each of them, they're BOTH scumbags, so they each have the excuse of each other to back out.

In any case, the only real bidder, Bee, gets them for his bid, and everyone else sees that MadMax and Zanzabar don't follow through on their bids.

Josh... both of you backed out on your bids, and both of you tried to then "meet me in the middle" around 30k lower than what you bid.

The kryss' are gone, I sold them to the highest bidder who actually intended to honor his bids. I don't care what either of you say about this; you've both taken time out of your day to bid on auctions, back out of them, call people f@gs, talk to each other about omgwtfterrible I am, make lowball offers below what either of you originally bid, and then post and repost in here whining about it. Your character is abundantly clear.

...

Josh - first, I don't know you. I don't think I've ever run into you, under any of your personas, in last two years. And I've never traded with you either. Why exactly do I "not like you"? I mean now, of course, you've given me plenty of reason. But other than being kind of a nutcase, up until a couple days ago I had no reason not to deal with you. Heck, you even backed out of my other auction for spears, which you weren't the winning bidder on anyways, and cost me 10k from a higher bid. And I just said "OK"; didn't give you one word of a hard time.

And why does he tell you he was offering me 70k for the kryss? Does that sound like someone who "backed out"?

You both had bids at 100k when the auction ended. You put yours in first, so obviously you win. You declined to pay, had a schizophrenic fit about (reminiscent of Arsen, actually... another alt?), and are now trying to reason with a guy you called a f@ggot yesterday.
