Who did it sell to and for how much? (if you have that info)

I've lost out on a few things because there were no bids and the seller ended the auction because they didn't feel it was getting what it should...but it depends on the item whether I "mark a spot" or not....But I agree...sometimes people go crazy before the end. Of Course that's good for the seller and bad for the buyer. As a seller I love to see it go up....but as a bidder I hate it...so it's a double edged sword.

I don't know who bought it.....I had a friend who was slightly interested in it and emailed him when it was closed and the response came back that he sold it for $3500 I think. If anyone is disappointed they missed it they probably should have emailed him to see if he would take an offer.....but that's another double edged sword. I hate it when people ask me for a Buy it now price when I list something but at the same time if it's something you really want you just want to ask the seller.
