The auction ran a WEEK and he never noticed he never put a reserve on it? What an idiot.

He's not an idiot, he's a liar.

Everybody is right.
We do have respect for our fellow Browncoats but you backed out of a deal. You can only back out if both parties deicde it is ok.
I think no matter what you should sell it to him for whatever price he bid on it. There is no need to delete your eBay and FFF.net account. Just say you are sorry and give him his item he won fair and square.

I was sort of letting him choose what he thought was the lesser of two evils: To be thought a liar or to be thought an idiot.

Succatash should file a Nonperforming Seller complaint against the seller. Prolly won't actually force him to go through with the sale but eBay may NARU him, anyway. Maybe.

Well, I filed a Non-Performance complaint and gave the seller a negative review. I guess that's the end of it, nothing more I can do.
It's just shitty, that's all.

i didn't mean to get drawn into this, but.... actually i have had two bad experiences with eBay - yeah, it took two, but like georgie boy says, fool me once ah, ah ah..... nevermind...
When it comes to eBay, all I can say is buyer beware.... (and go to a real store and pay full price, for crying out loud....)

In this case, Dayve, it's a one-of-a-kind item that can't be bought in a store.
Mike, the mistake was yours, unless you can demonstrate that you actually set a reserve and eBay somehow deleted it. That doesn't seem even remotely likely. In my opinion, you should go through with the sale. But it looks like you aren't planning to step up, so... bye.
Very sorry about the disappointment, Succatash. Sadly, though, there's nothing you (or anyone) can do to force the buyer to complete the sale, except bring eBay pressure to bear. If he doesn't care about that, all you can do is... hmmm... build your own paper model of Serenity, I guess.
