its the responsibility of the buyer to decide if the item is "a good deal." You should have exchanged email before bidding or using the "buy it now" feature. Granted this allows someone to swoop in and "buy it now" before you, but those are the breaks. (I'm speaking from a buyer perspective. I buy more then I sell over the internet.) eBay has enough deadbeat buyers. Just buy the item, and re-auction it or sell it on audiogon. Hopefully you can break even minus the shipping costs, or perhaps turn enough of a profit to cover all of your shipping costs. That would be the proper thing to do. Obviously what you decide to do is up to you.
