The minute I read things like the following from his auction text
http://ebay.com/
"Who may not bid? Anyone we feel will be a problem will not be alowed to bid. If we do not like your tie we will cancel your bid as well as block you. If you have bad refernces or bid retractions figure you are wasting your time bidding on our products.
Warning do not place a bid and think you will go back and close it later or better yet decided I should have bid higher. If for any reason we feel someone may have a sniper bid on the item we can and will close the auction early so the sniper does not win the bid. This is done at random."
Amazing the things you can learn about a seller from reading _between_ the lines!
