MikeI was more than ready to step up to the plate and pay the 2 grand. I did not place a bid I wasn't willing to honor. I would never do that. Paying it was not a problem. The reason I threw that story in there I guess was simply to show how much bids can vary, and how much a few are willing to go to obtain something. As you say, especialy on an unbelievably rare and valuable item. My guess is that it was not listed on bay very well, and it had slipped through the cracks so to speak. But I did want it, and my bid was honest. I guess the other guy would have to be the one to determine whether he overpaid or not. I don't beleive he did. In fact if I knew then, what i know now, I would have gone much higher.
