    list something that would appeal to him and when he wins it, take his money and send an inferior item that is covered by your description.

    Ooooh... pure evil! Sends a chill down my spine just thinking about it!

    Needs a lot of working out tho.

    The OP is a cretin. Who actually thinks he is in the right for wanting to get his own back on a buyer who wanted to buy things as cheaply as possible?

    So what?

    The same thing applies whether it is an auction or ebay.

    Any collusion between buyers is to the detriment of the seller and probably illegal or against auction house rules.

    Am sorry, but where are the rules for this? I don't see them on ebay or any of the auction houses that I frequent! I also cannot see it as illegal, though possibly detrimental to the seller, but thats the way the cookie crumbles in selling stuff at auction. Receiving anything higher than the reserve is a bonus to the seller.
    In many auction houses you will find buyers colluding and doing so openly.
    As for ebay, well that's a different kettle of fish altogether!

    As you posted 'That is what ebay is for.' followed by 'Unless I have missed the point.' I thought I'd kindly point out that perhaps you had, as that instance was patently not an ebay situation.

    Clearly you had some higher point in mind and don't stoop to trivia such as the sales venue :D
