Vintage Deputy is right on here. While I have become increasingly frustrated by all the cheapskates and nonpayers on ebay, I will say this in regard to ebay. Unless the seller is running a private auction, you can contact the buyer of the item on ebay. Any other major auction house you do not have that luxery. Several of the items that have gotten away from me that I have regretted have happened on major auctions and thus I have no chance of ever finding out where they went. All I can do is hope that they show up again someday or move on to something else.
