The RAM is already gone. 1. It was a reserve auction. 2. Nothing is binding in a reserve auction unless the reserve is met, which it wasn't. 3. The high bidder decided to not purchase it in the end. He does not have to since the reserve price was not met. 4. No payments were made, nothing was lost, no one got screwed over. 5. You are right, I did offer it to you, and I did change my mind. I apologize for neglecting to inform you of my desicion to post it on the list.
