Hi John,

That is the "thrill" of eBay... nothing can be taken for granted. I've
bid on things that I was sure others would be all over... but I wound up
winning for $1. Then there are other items that I thought I had all to
myself and next thing I know I've been outbid by two others and the
ending price is several times what the going rate is. I especially like
the latter when I'm the seller :-)
