Tony,
I should have but I didn't think of it at the time. It must of been
where they guy kind of ticked me off over the dollar amount LOL. If I
see anything else like this, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Gosh Will,
If you'd decided not to bid on it, you should have given us a heads
up... There might have been someone on the list that would have wanted
it ;)

This don't have to do with amps but is a very good lesson. I was
looking at a hipot over on eBay and thinking about bidding on it. I
have one just like it and wanted a second. The only bid so far was a
whole whopping $1.00. Well, I was prepared to bid as high as $45.00
for it in the end. I really didn't have the cash handy so I e-mailed
the seller and asked if payment on December 4th was okay. I have done
this several times, and never have a problem. Anyhow, I get an e-mail
back saying, "No, that's too long!" , note the exclamation point.
Well of course I didn't bid but still watched the item as it had
about 4 hours to go. Finally time rolled by and it was over. I went
to take a look to see what it went for. It went for a whopping total
of $1.25 and I about fell over laughing! I think there's a moral to a
story here somewhere. I guess he just couldn't wait 18 days for
his/her $1.25 which I doubt will cover the listing cost =) Makes you
think that there may just be that higher person watching over you and
dealing out lessons! I never did doubt we didn't.
