Once I bought a mug that I really liked. There was no reserve, and no one else bid on it. I won it for a dollar. Then the seller emailed me saying "Oh, Im sorry, but my little boy broke it. He's only three... sorry." And refunded my dollar. Then I saw it back up on Ebay a week later, with a reserve attatched. So it was bidding at a much higher price. Same seller. I was so PISSED. I emailed her, and her response was "Its not the same mug. I had TWO." So I responded with "Well its the same type of mug. If you had two identical mugs, why didnt you just send me the one that wasn't broken?" And she never replied. I finally just let it go. But I know that it was the same mug, because it was the exact same photo. Its so obvious what happened. She didnt think she got enough for it, decided she really should have had a reserve going on, and put it back up for auction so she could get more for it than a dollar.

I wish I could remember her name, but it was something like two years ago... Anyhoo... thats my ebay tale.
