Very nice sword. Lousy seller. Glad you got your money back. That often does not happen.

Yeah, that has also happened to me before. Thankfully in this case I had pay insurance through todocoleccion. It just took another week or two of them trying to pressure him to follow through with the sale (which was obviously not going to happen since he presumably no longer had the sword in his possession), but in the end they refunded me in full.

I wouldn't have been so pissed off with him if he had just been honest and canceled the sale once he got a better offer, but he chose to lie repeatedly, and given that he had a new account on both platforms and it looks a lot like he was shill bidding on catawiki (which frankly enables this by allowing sellers to offer their lots to the next highest bidder) I suspect this is a habit for him. Buyer beware.
