I'd say it's ban worthy, but this isn't my site. But I am a member on the site and can't stand dishonesty and shadiness.

Information for sellers:
Please plan your auction ahead. Your end time is a verbal contract with your bidders and is not flexible. Please ensure that you will be ready and able to end your auction within the window specified in your lowball rules.
Items up for auction should be visually verified before being added to your listing (pictures of the actual product are highly recommended!) as sellers will be held responsible for ensuring that their list is accurate and all items are delivered as promised upon completion of the lowball. This means listed items may not be removed from the lowball once it is underway.
If payment is required by a certain date, be clear about that in your listed payment guidelines. Otherwise, something general such as, Quote:
I would like to receive payment within 10 days of lowball end, but other arrangements may be made if you contact me before bidding. is also acceptable.
Appropriate feedback may be left by your buyers for actions outside the rules.

I don't think I can make it any more clear than it already is in the OP. Sellers that do not follow through should absolutely be held accountable for their actions. We, as CAGs, have to count on a certain amount of self-policing, so I hope everyone feels free to leave the appropriate feedback were they affected.
EDIT: I would like to mention that, the CAG in question had a lowball with a similar result the attempt before. The bidders at that time chose to let him slide, and it lead to the exact same result in the next attempt.
I can't express enough how much I am against leniency when it comes to lowballs and following through with your commitment.
Of course, everyone could have an issue of some sort, but the "lowballers" I have had the most respect for are the ones that ate their losses, "manned up" and followed through in spite of low bids, spoiled endings, etc.
I have seen (too) many failed lowballs, and rarely does the person causing the issues redeem themselves with their next attempt.
A good deal is one thing, but those of you piling on to bid when there has been so much disappointment in the past are simply masochists!
I have said it before, and will continue to say it until either myself or this site dies, but the lowballs are for the benefit of
ALL CAGS not specifically for the sellers.
