Ok, sorry for being defensive. I misperceived your intent.

It sucks for you because you expected to get what you were entitled to as the winner.
Sorry, rob, but it sucks for you. For printcoin to be successful, it requires that people implicitly trust you. Refusing to honor terms that you yourself set out calls that trust into question. It won't be long before people start calling you a scammer in your printcoin threads.
[I don't say this as a threat, it's just the natural course of action on this forum.]
I did not make any gain off of this, so calling it a scam (and me a scammer) is very poor wording.
If anything, this is a breach of contract. I am willing to accept a reasonable penalty, and offered up $5.5 of the $30 that was his bid. He has not rejected that, and I am optimistic that this can be settled fairly.
I have made two attempts to work out a reasonable solution, and you should at least let him respond before tossing in your troll like messages.

[bla bla threat that isn't a threat, that really is a threat]
Bite me. [bla bla threat that isn't a threat, that really is a threat]
Bite me? No that wasn't a veiled threat. I never had the intention of personally complaining about you in other threads.
On this forum, I've repeatedly seen:
1) People get labeled scammers for bailing on deals, whether they actually had the intent to scam or just didn't follow through.
2) Angry victims or vigilantes go to every thread the alleged scammer has ever posted in, screaming aobut how this person is a scammer and you shouldn't do business with them.
This is probably not something you want to deal with if you're running a bitcoin business. Furthermore, the defense that you were only in breach of contract, and not a full scammer, still essentially has the same effect on you and your business' reputation.
Most people don't believe either of your attempts generated a reasonable solution, and even if they did, Vitaliy's opinion is the only one that matters. Since he hasn't accepted either offer, he clearly doesn't think the offers are reasonable.
I'm now wishing I hadn't sent bitcoins to both robkohr and kujoking7.

what happened? did he get his gift card ?
I pmed him but haven't heard back.
The OP's PM stated that he couldn't honor the final bid of $30 for this gift card but that he would like an "offer somewhere near the actual gift card price".
Well this is an auction, so my bid was my 'offer'. If you did not want to sell it at that price, then you should either have set a larger starting bid or a stated a minimum reserve, both of which you did not do.
IMO, this is untrustworthy behavior.
You are right. I made a mistake and should have put in some type of reserve. I had no idea that the bid was going to be anything nearly as low as it turned out.

Would a bitcoin be fair as a way to make it up to you?
How about $30 worth of Bitcoins to match his bid?

Sent a PM to Vitaliy to see if we can work this out.

or there is a rule that says " i reserve the right to refuse/cancel " ?
i guess the seller is just butthurt? :p or there is a rule that says " i reserve the right to refuse/cancel " ?

Bidding starts at 30USD and is made in increments of at least 1USD.
You should start with a higher starting bid then.
Have I won?
I am sorry but I cannot sell a $100 card for $30.

nudge.
I guess you are right. Please consider that section removed as I can't edit it at this point.
Okay, I bid $30.
If you would like to make a private bid you may contact me via private message.
You should remove this, auctions should be public, otherwise a seller can claim that they've received a higher bid via pm if they don't like the ending price.
