I must admit I would have felt a bit guilty if my offer was accepted.

From a purely technical p.o.v., might've been better to have offered $200-250 then paid another $600-800 to sooth your conscience if they'd gone for that and you'd wished to do so.

I was considering that.  Fortunately I was saved from having to wrestle with  such a tricky moral issue.

Nah, I'm only 99% sure (like last time).

I wonder what the seller is thinking right now?  Was he really in the dark, is this a joke, is he thinking somebody is f**cking with him, or is he really flabergasted and planning a trip to a marathon is the desert

Considering what the other items she's sold recently have gone for, she's going to be in for one heck of a shock when she logs in next.

Yes we need one of these to get exited about every so often.  Now we just need a MINT Pharoh or Rahasha as well!

Woodgrains are like chum.  Both cause feeding frenzies.

yeah i think shock at having something thats worth that much and not really knowing - unless they did a little research, which i doubt considering the listing.

with davids bid, that will almost pay my first instalment

I happen to know that a friend of mine who doesn't visit the any of forums, sent an email to them with a link to the acaeum page that has the woodgrain info on it. I think he might have submitted BIN offers, but I don't know for sure. I rather doubt that they do anything now but provide info and ride the bidding out.
