So, is he saying that his proxy got bumped, and he was mad about that? Probably. The sad thing is if he loses, he is not obilgated to accept second chance offer should the winning bidder doesn’t pay up so he doesn’t have to worry about the $475.
When I typed that I wasn’t clear that he *was* the second place bidder. I thought he was still in first, but had just been bumped up by an underbidder. A

He’s been on ebay since Nov ‘04 with 87.5%….7 positive, 1 negative, 9 total. He left his 1st transaction feedback in April: "Over a week and still havent received" I sure blocked this person in a hurry! Wow. He’s accusing you of shilling. Damn! I hadn’t thought of that — but it sure makes his comment clearer. What an asshole! Cancel his other bid, while you’re at it, Jean.
I blocked him on both my selling accounts right after his email….but wait there was a part deux: "You need to understand my frustration. I have been trying to purchase a set of Big Berthas for the last week. It seems that every time the auction is about to close a "new" bidder enters the auction and jacks the price up. When I look at the "properties" of the "new" bidder it seems that they are newly created and used to drive up the price. I apologize if I offended you, but please feel my pain. I’m just a guy who loves to golf and wants to replace my 14 year old Ping Zing 2s with a new set of Big Berthas" Well, he won’t be buying them from ME. thanks guys!
Response:
muttered something like: Well, he won’t be buying them from ME.
Amen. If you’re supposed to sympathise with his pain, he can sympathize with yours too–you’re just a seller who’s been accused of dishonesty by a total stranger based on his experiences with people you don’t know. No need to make his problem into your problem. -Bertha — No one can ever know for sure what a deserted area looks like. –George Carlin
Response:
I am the seller and that was all he wrote me. Peculiar, isn’t it? Scary too!
what were the bids of that seller in relationship to others? Buck — But that’s just my opinion.

So… now that he’s not high bidder any more, he won’t buy the club? That kind of goes without saying, doesn’t it? I sure blocked this person in a hurry!
Good call. Might want to retract his bids too. And then reply with "as per your request I have retracted your latest bid. :) -Bertha — "Where do we find a precept in the Bible for Creeds, Confessions, Doctrines and Oaths, and whole carloads of other trumpery that we find religion encumbered with these days?" — John Adams

I’d have blocked him from further bidding, but left his losing bid in place to keep the final value up. There’s almost no chance that he’d and up winning – and if he wins and turns into a non-payer he can be NPBd and negged if necessary. If he’s that worried he can cancel his own bid. — Crazy Dog wfh at crazy hyphen dog dot fsnet dot co dot uk

I wonder if there is a way to report him to ebay? not that it would accomplish anything…just might feel vindicated somehow.
Does blocking him remove his bid? I’d have been sure to do so. Kris

Off hand, it doesn’t look as if he’d buy it even if he won it. You got yourself a nutcase, it appears. I sure blocked this person in a hurry!
