Sorry about this top post folks but I don't know what best to snip out. I have obviously misunderstood how eBay works and upset Laurenece into the bargain. I really thought the highest bid won, according to the eBay rules that is.
I don't have one of these new fangled educations which could no doubt bestow me with a Master of Science Degeree in on-line bidding. Laurence, was it your intent to sniff out appreciative, if impecunious, enthusiasts or to drum up bidders for the item on Sunday ?
