I was liking them too. That's why I was stunned by the following (item description deleted by me):


"Thank you for participating in a recent ONSALE auction.
Unfortunately, the XXXXXXX (ONSALE item
#XXXXXXX) on which you successfully bid is not available and we will not
be able to fulfill your order #XXXXXXX in a timely fashion. As a
matter of policy, we are refunding your credit card account for $#####
immediately. It normally takes ONSALE approximately 3 to 4 business days to process your refund and approximately 2 to 3 business days for the refund to appear in your credit card account.

On behalf of ONSALE, I want to apologize for this error and for any
inconvenience that this may have caused you. Thank you for your
understanding in this matter. We hope to see you bid and win another
item in the very near future!"

In my book, that's just B.S. for never mind. I want compensation for my time and the fraud. They wouldn't let me off the hook easily if my bids raised the price till the other buyers dropped out, then I tried to change my mind.

They really have me ticked-off now!
