Lol I understand why he pulled it. You have a ton of cherry pickers hating on you no doubt. More than likely someone would've put up an outrageous bid like Rick Snow did last time.
If no one else had bid would you have told the seller what he had or paid the $100 for it? In theory(and usually in practice) telling a seller what they have is a good thing imo. However ,respectfully, in this case, as others have expressed too, your motives appear suspect here. To me it sounds like "I know I won't be able to get it at a steal so no one else should either." . Did you just word the post poorly?

I believe that was exactly what I meant.
I'm sorry for being such a selfish . I was having a bad day and was angry at people in general at the moment. I was pretty sure that I would not be able to afford it even if I did not tell the seller, so I wanted someone else (the seller) to be happy that was not more financially fortunate than I was. So I should have tried getting it for a steal without telling the seller? I'll keep that in mind.
Again, I apologize for letting you all down in my selfish endeavors that I should have kept private.
So the moral of the story is to never tell the seller what he/she actually has, even if you think you could afford it or not? Got it. I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm having a bad day and I see something while perusing your stuff for sale.
No. The moral of the story is it's not ok/hypocritical to do so out of spite/anger/frustration because you knew you wouldn't be able to get it at a steal yourself. As I said before I think telling sellers in situations like the coin we are discussing is a good thing in general to do but you are doing so for the wrong reason here it feels like.

This makes sense and I fully agree. I figured I was in the wrong when amida posted, and your comment confirmed that. I apologize to anyone annoyed or hurt by my actions.
But the coin has sold. There's no going back. The deed was done.
