That actually worked to my advantage once. I found a Buy It Now unattributed VAM that a guy had in his store, and put it on Watch while I researched it. I decided it would make a nice addition, even at the (relatively) premium price. So, I went to pull the trigger, and the seller was off on vacation.
During the three weeks he was gone, it came to light that there were a lot more of that VAM than was previously thought. I ended up not buying it as a result, and saved myself over $100.
