Principles vs. Price

[Jags Fan Dan]

Well, just to let anyone interested in the final outcome of my dilemma, I bought the item but made him throw in free shipping. The reasoning is two-fold:
1. Nice item at a fair price.
2. I have bought two items in the past from this seller and they were both nice items and easy deals.
I still think I was shilled, but I am looking past it on this one.

I think you did the right thing Dan! Good decision!

What was the item and what did you pay?

For the seller's sake, I'd prefer not to say what the item was, because I guess it is possible that it wasn't shill bidding and I don't want any ill-will.

That a boy. No-one needs to know your business and as long as you are happy, that's all that matters.

Ok, I just thought it would have made the discussion more interesting to know what type of dollar figures that were being discussed. No big deal.

[Jags Fan Dan]

The price was $150.

The price was $150.

Dan, now the interesting part - How much was the last bid from a real bidder, say before the possible sniper?
