    After questioning the reason for the re-listing of the CS22 this is the reply he gave me

    Hi I wasn't happy with the selling price so I relisted it.Ive only ever seen the one stove for sale in the last 7ish years ive been on ebay im a tilley collector aswell so im always looking at whats around.That stove sold for over $3000 and that was without the original box which I have for mine.This is a hard thing to sell im quiet attached to it and unless I get at least $2000 im happy to hang onto it in the end.cheers,marcus- mreuromarcus

    Are the rules for eBay Australia different to those for the UK? Here, when something sells on eBay, that's it, the buyer and seller have a legally-binding contract with each other - one to sell and the other to buy.

    Perhaps as someone's suggested, he was bidding in the auction for himself. I take it that's still against the rules down-under... ](*,)

    You're not referring to that prototype SDR, by any chance... :whistle:

    I think my response would have been something along the lines, "Well as you clearly don't honour your auctions I won't be bidding, Thanks".
