Yes. I bought it, paid for it, and was in the process of setting up a meet to pick it up (he's about 50 miles away from me). But apparently once he looked at the reality of letting it go, he just couldn't do it. Look at the listing -- it's a 2003, definitely custom for him, but now he's in his 70s and not using it much if at all. So he decided to sell. But then, as I said, the reality of it ...
Ebay requires the seller to say the item is "damaged or out of stock" to cancel a sale, so he did that with them, but he was honest with me.
I personally have my 1975 Nishiki ONP that was my racing bike back then. My back no longer allows me to ride it. But it's going to hang on my wall until I'm in my grave, so I understand bike attachment. I doubt I'd be able to give up something like the DKS/Ottrott after 18 years.
