Kat Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Ummm.... Art... did you realize you are bidding against yourself? Good rule of thumb at auctions, daggit--never keep a buyer from running up the bid on items you are selling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
