It is hard to believe there are any bargains on eBay, when thousands, maybe
hundreds of thousands, of people are looking at the same item, over several
days or weeks! I guess the value of it is finding odd-ball pieces, but
I would not expect to get it cheap.

Yeah I guess I'm being a vigilante. Its one of those you're damned if you
do you're damned if you don't. If they could only make a rule to get rid of
these fake bidders we'd be all set.
Thanks,
Chris
