It's not uncommon to have a mate bidding-up an item and then drop out after the auction ends. Your "second chance offer" is then a lot more than you would have had to pay without matey chipping-in. I've had that on an item I was bidding on, not private listing, and you could see from the eBay account history's that these guys had played the same trick before, sometimes under a previous account name. -- Dave ex Motorcycle Maintenance Workshop http://tinyurl.com/4mhaw |

I've got one of those and the bike is as sound as a pound, so probably not. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 |
