No, it isn't allowed. Bids are binding, and if the buyer can't or won't complete the auction, you can let one of the moderators know. Send a PM to either Knolls or GoldenEye and ask them to look into it.

This is true. Bids are binding and we take a very firm stance against people bidding and then backing out.

However, generally speaking if the two of you can reach a mutual decision that you're both OK with, I don't think we need to insert ourselves just to enforce the rules for rules' sake. It does happen that people make bids they can't possibly follow through on and then working out some other arrangement isn't the worst thing.

But in this case I can't say I like the solution either. As I'm sure has occurred to you, there's no way for someone to pay you 10 million for nothing.

So I'd encourage you two to keep discussing and see if you can't work out some deal that is legal but stil satisfies you both.

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:

The winner finds a new buyer at the same price so the seller still gets paid
The winner approaches purchases coins, and the two of you do a coins-for-cash, cash-for-symbol trade.
The winner sells other status symbols worth an equivalent point total for cash, trades that cash back for the Afghanistan, then buys the items back over time.

Just some ideas. I always encourage people to work things amicably out on their own. If you'd like me to get involved, I can do that too, but I don't have magic that makes bad situations good. Just make sure you obey the rules, so no partial-payment-for-nothing is allowed.
