A few days ago I won an auction for a compact disk. The auction shows there are 15 available at a Buy-It-Now price. So, I bought one. Or thought I did. I get an e-mail today saying unfortunately, the CD is "out of stock" and will take 2 to 4 weeks for delivery. They allowed me to cancel my "order" and get a refund, but we'll see how that turns out. If you go to the auction you can see that out of "15 available" mine is the only order. So, these guys are obviously selling merchandise they haven't even purchased yet. Irritating.
