Yes, I know it's the bidder's 
responsibility...notice once in my post I 
never "complained" or said that I wouldn't pay. 
Of course I will. My question was about whether 
people ever talked a seller down from a price.

ON ANOTHER NOTE, I think I should also point out 
that this auction was too close to ending to have 
had time to ask the question before it was over. 
I was willing to take the chance, and still am, 
since I love the item.

HOWEVER: That still doesn't mean it's "my fault" 
just because someone else has decided to charge 
too much (again, it's like blaming a rape victim 
for wearing a skirt that was too short; flawed 
logic). Yes, it is my RESPONISBILITY to check, 
but THAT is a different issue (confusing the ends 
with the means, my friends). If a seller is 
charging to much, I will pay, but not before 
trying to bring it down first; simply "accepting" 
it is saying it's OK for people to rip you off, 
and it's not. If I can, I will fight it first.
