Yeah, Battletechs weird like that.  i'm not a collector of the stuff, but I get the twitches and urges to buy the rare and freaky stuff that comes up.  :oops:

We should probably adjust it.  Just take whichever bid was place 2nd chronolgially and move it either up if its higher or down if it is lower out to the $25.00 bid margin. :)

I concur. You could ask the second bid to rebid?

I'll motion a third for it. I think I'm one of those, so if I was the latter of the bids I'm cool with having to adjust it.

You can eliminate my estimate because I got in so late.

Babydragon stepped in on me, but I'm cool with whatever way you want to adjust it.

So you really do like american football, although that would probably get you at least a 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. :lol:
