why i hate ebay: reason No 56324

Spotted a tidy11630MH with orange accents and hands, complete with bracelet.
No reserve and hardly any views so stuck in a bid and primed the ezsniper.
I then forgot all about it till I got the mail saying I'd won it for €960 - Cool!
Contacted the seller and, no response...
24 hours later I get a mail saying its no longer for sale and he's sent it to Paris to be evaluated.
Ok, emailed him back telling him I was dissappointed as I thought I'd won it.
Turns out he now thinks its worth 4500-5000CHF (~3210-3570€) and he hopes I'm still interested!
HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa!!!!
Surely not(?)
Have they really gone up in value this much?
I could go down the ebay complaints route or leave lousy feedback but what's the point - Ebay will fob me off and he'll probably invent some equally lousy feedback in return.
I've been here before of course but it still makes me a little bit mad every time :-)
Anyway, rant over!
Cheers,
AndyO...
