another issue I had was that I once bid on a car part, and won the bid, at
$1.00 (no reserve) and $25 shipping, so after winning he waited a week, then
when I asked about it, no response, just refunded the $26. The key here, is
if you don't want to sell it for $1, don't list it for $1, simply use a
reserve or put it at the actual price.

That's the
same thinking that I have. I put in my max bid and if
someone outbids me, they outbid me. I've bid on something like
"Logitech Modula/2 for OS/2", which I wanted. A lot. But I wasn't
willing to pay more than, say, $75 for it. Someone won the item for
almost $300. That's far more than I would ever have paid.
And while it is momentarily disapoining when I'm the second-highest bidder
and I find the item sold for 'only $1 more than I was prepared to pay' (or
whatever the bid increment is), I then rememebr that I have no way of
knwoing what the high bidder's limit was. I was probslby otubit by a lot
more than $1.
