The man is not going to get negative feedback if he bought it himself under a FAKE NAME

Looks like some went off a little half-cocked on this one. Looks like the buyer was the bad guy. This usually happens when you ASSume something. I can imagine that no-pay bidders are a little more common, than they used to be.

I was born at night...but not last night.
Is it just me or does this whole scenario seem a little contrived? Is there any way to see how long the broke buyers' account has been in effect. I'm guessing somewhere between the underbidders last bid and the broke bidders winning bid. Just my .02

Yes there is. Just click on buyer's feedback. This particular buyer registered on 8/7/2005.

I bid on a set of Trojan barrels several weeks ago, the buyer registered in the last 15 minutes and begged out of the deal with the seller. Seller then contacted me and offered them to me at my 1st bid. This is what should have been done in this case. This kind of mess makes the real bidders BIDS valueless. It is an insult to their time and Gunbroker should not allow that gun back up for sale. Gunbroker for all practical purposes is now a potential trap for well intentioned buyers.

Can I get an answer to my question? Thanks. I agree, the reserve function on gunbroker is ridiculous.

I love this guy's new listing with the line he added...."Check your bank account BEFORE bidding. If it is empty do not bid!"
