So I relisted the item, it ended today. There was less than two minutes left on the auction when I got this e-mail:

Hi there, i'm so sorry to have to email you but is there anyway you can cancel my bid, ebay won't allow me, i have had recent personal issues. I hope you can help before the auction ends

I write back that I had no way to cancel the bid on my end.

He writes:

Hi there, it's getting near to my highest bid, if i do win, would it be possible to offer it to the next highest bidder, if they refuse, as mentioned before i will honour the sale, once again i am so sorry to mess you around, and wish i could explain as you would understand if you knew the situation.

Hmmmmm... sound familiar? Whatever could the situation be?

There has been a death in the family that I must attend to

Are you freaking kidding me? Is it possible that this item is cursed? I think eBay should offer death insurance. I am seriously tired of this BS. This item is a f*n albatross.
