I'm very doubtful. He was Asking $399.95 for a raw copy..... It did however disappear from eBay.
I'm not sure why. Stuff sells on ebay all the time for prices which might seem high. However, a price that might seem high is subjective. We all value things differently. I see no reason why an item like this that doesn't show up very often couldn't have sold. In any event, I'm not sure why you care. You made an offer. The offer was countered. You didn't like that but that's life. Move on and forget about it. You seem to be on some kind of crusade, with whatever end goal I'm not sure, but it's making you look foolish. People can ask whatever they like. People can accept or reject whatever offers they like. If you never want to deal with the seller again that's your decision. If the seller never wants to deal with you that's his decision. Move on.
