    What was your HIGH though ? $600 ?Mine was US$908.09 and that's a ways from the high bid of $563 showing at just before 16:00hrs PDT.In reality I was prepared to pay $308.09 more than your highest bid.

    I always laugh at the psychology the fleabay dimwits attempt to promote where you are the"WINNER".Winner my fat a$$,You are the HIGH BIDDER nothing more,nothing less.Attempting to put a different spin on it is ridiculous.I always calculate what the object is worth to me and place a bid accordingly.I only bid ONCE and if e-pay notify me to send money I know that I was the high bidder.No notice,no lost sleep.

    Now I start looking for the stand I guess.

    In reality e-pay is the home of the greedy.The Brits being the worst offenders.Try to get one of them to quote you a fixed price sometime.I had one dork tell me that"I HAVE TO PUT IT ON E-Bay"."HAVE TO"? Mind you 3 weeks later he gets in touch and wants me to quote him on a Long Branch no2 bolt head and I had the great pleasure of telling him that "Oooh,I am worried that I might lose 5 cents so I HAVE to put it on Gun Broker" told him that he should remember that old adage about everything that goes around comes around and then told him that I wouldn't sell him one for 100 Quid on account of his being such a greedy ba$tard anyway.

    I really dislike having to play their greedy little games.Had Surpmil NOT given that heads up I undoubtedly would never have known about it let alone bid.E-pays pulling that PAYPAL ONLY scam pretty much ended my buying anything via e-pay anyway.I contacted the vendor about A)His stating that he would only ship to the US although he is in Ontario CANADA and B) I told him that a VP of the RBC told me to stay away from PAYPAL and FACEBOOK.PayPal have pulled some really bad stunts on account of their having access to your bank account(the one your PAYPAL BS goes through and Facebook is the tool of the ID theft swine AND will get you more dick lengthening spam that you ever knew existed)So a US$ draft was deemed to be imminently acceptable IF I "won".I did so there you go.
    Speaking of going,I only got up to call a client mucho time zones away.Did that ,couldn't sleep so I decided to see what was doing here.NOW I am going back to my bed.

    G'night all...

    Zzzz,

    JR
