At the time, I'd a bid more; this particular asswipe waited until the final 10 seconds to place his first (and only) bid-- leaving me with no time to post another bid. Had I know he was out there, I'd a done things a little differently. SInce then, I've learned to be an asswipe on e-bay. It's only way you're going to get anything there. I don't post *any* bids until the last 5 seconds or so. There is no such thing as civility or fair play there-- Only winners and losers: You have to be an asswipe if you wanna win. An auction conducted on this list (or at least started here) would be more in keeping with the ideas of civility *and* fair play. More than $0.02 but what the heck . . . ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less!
