I made it very clear I wanted to pay immediately, and was not provided that option.
That is why I both had my bid rescinded and will not be blacklisted.
That part needs to be clear.
Secondly, I made one(1) bid, and it was the last bid.
I drove nothing up.
Thirdly, as I have demonstrated in this thread, I had the money ready to pay.
You did not honor a binding bid - full stop.That is why I both had my bid rescinded and will not be blacklisted.

I read the rules, specifically 24h (payment and info collection).
My understanding of that is stated clearly.
I expected to be able to pay within any point of the 24 hours.
It is 48 hours for the info and payment collection, for the record.
I find it pointless arguing when he has shown that he does not want to pay - I guess friedcat had that in mind too especially that a public argument with him will only incur a bad image for his company. I'm sorry that other bidders was affected though - I'll try to ask friedcat to prevent this kind of problems in the future auctions.
Next time I'll try bidding at Sotheby's for fun and ask for my bid to be cancelled when the payment isn't requested after a few seconds.
