At the bottom of the description it indicates he sold it locally, so he probably just Upgraded the price instead of cancelling the auction.

Looks like he sold it locally and raised the price so nobody would bid on it.

which is insanely stupid as you can just close your auction early and then avoid fees...

I believe Ebay changed that loop hole where you could reduce the item to .01 cents before cancelling and thereby get back a portion of your listing fee...too bad...

Was bought new in april. The gentleman (very loose term there) that used this barrel decided he did not like a lack of accuracy.
Is he talking in 3rd person? Or did he buy it new, then sell it, then buy it back, then sell it locally?

I thought the JT paint was excellent. Really nice. The issue was the size. Flatlines need very specific OD paint

I think he's a dealer who sold the barrel to a guy who brought it back after using it for a day. Kind of like returning the suit after you wore it to the big event...Just tuck in the tags and remember not to spill anything on it and you'll be fine.
