It doesn't seem very sporting to list an item with "For XXX only- Nobody Else!"... it's probably the closest you can get to trading outside of ebay w/out trading outside of ebay, but if it works then great.
eBay used to have a facility whereby a seller could create a private listing, viewable only to the member it was for, unfortunately they stopped allowing it because people were abusing it in some way to manipulate feedback scores (or so I have read in the past, the function was a little bit before my time).
This sort of thing could also be avoided if eBay would introduce, and/or expand, the options for discounting item prices, either before or after an item has sold, but for now, sellers have to work with the (lack of) tools they get, and truth be told, negotiated - exclusive - prices for package deals, repeat custom, etc, is a regular occurrence in most fields of selling, professional or casual.
