  That must be why I repeatedly get out bid by the same
guys over and over
 again.  Sometimes I don' even bother because I know they'll outbid me. 
Yes, I know of at least three bidders that are businesses.  I also know
that they can always outbid me, and at least two of them use some kind
of automated sniping tool.

  While bidding on a DSSI drive, I actually won the
auction, then the
 seller "elobby" went awol.... he's no longer registered, and I had
 already paid him.  It's odd, he has nothing but glowing feedback.  It's
 not due to the WTC either, it was before that. 
I bought a DSSI drive from elobby, and it did arrive.  I see their last
feedback entry was on Sep. 7, and you are right, elobby is now unregistered.
