I just heard back from the "good" DX Demo seller:

Dear bestvalueforeyou,
I see that it shipped. What was the DX demo buyer's decision on the single DX for $75?

Dear [geekmaster],
NO! He actually got very upset and I forget the entire reply but it wasn't something you would have liked to have seen

Is there some special Romanian custom unknown to us Americans that we somehow inadvertantly violated by making a simple reasonable offer, demanding such an angry negative response back from him?
Because the winner was quite unhappy with the $120 shipping cost to Romania, perhaps he is angry at me because he thinks that I bid against him, making him pay so much to win the auction.
[My bid actually did not get placed due to sniper program issues, or I would have won that auction.]
