send a private msg to the seller(if you remember the sellers name) and you might get it cheaper as its no longer an auction- sometimes it goes the buyers way

Yes that happens all the time. Firstly the buyer makes contact with the seller asks for a mobile or email etc, then reports the item to eliminate other potential buyers. Some times they only last a few hours, other times they can be there for a few days, although in the end they always get removed.
