"I regret to inform you that the last Scooter of the model you placed a bid on was sold yesterday without my knowledge by another agent. If you would like I could give you another scooter for the bid price." says everything ! An item up for auction is an item up for auction and not for sale ! Anywhere for that matter!
The scooter was the last one in stock and was set aside for this auction. Unfortunately the scooter was released to another customer by mistake. Once again, my apologies. Responded 10 Apr 2007
