Why would it be any of their business? You state the terms of the sale up
front and you and the bidders are all contractually obligated to stand by them.
"Hey, since I bid a stupid amount of money for your twelve 1x2 bricks with
smiley printing, couldn't you throw in a bunch of silver 2x4s to make me feel
not so stupid?"
You know what I've spent stupid amounts of money on stuff just because I didn't
know what it was worth and obviously someone else was bidding too. Oh well.
Typically I just buy it. Recently I offered to buy out my obligation to
purchase on two items from eBay because I'd found a much cheaper source since
making the bids. Both sellers took my proposed deal and were very cordial
about it.
Your experience is weird. How did you respond?
