First of all, I'm not complaining (and I resent the cheapskate remark ). I'm just bummed about the loss of a good auction seller, one that you could trust and always had rare/htf/unknown stuff to browse through. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.
Secondly, as I mentioned earlier, if I think the price is right, I'll buy it outright. If not, I won't. Simple as that.
