Heh. Guys like that just astound me. He could have easily avoided those
problems by a) setting a reserve price or starting price that'd recoup his
costs or b) when he realized his error in NOT setting the reserve/initial
price, he could have cancelled the auction before it ended without penalty,
claiming "error in listing" (someone did that to me when I was about to win
a set of Vanagon power mirrors for like $15). Congrats on your victory!

Heh. Just curious, but what tool and how cheap did ya' get it?
