Any item on eBay that has 2 bidders and settles at $35.00 is probably worth $35.00 and not $1200.00 IMHO. Hope this helps.

Agreed, but last year on Ebay I got a lot of bottles that were privy dug in Kentucky. Because of bad pics and bad listing practices I was the winning bidder out of 4 different bidders, the box arrived and 11 out of 12 bottles were pontiled. I made $600 and kept the best bottle for myself , so it does happen...

I never end my auctions early when people make offers. I do not think it is fair to the other buyers interested in bidding on my auctions and it can give you a bad reputation on ebay. Dan made an offer of $100 why did he not put that amount on his final bid.

Looks to me that Dan didn't lose $1,200.... He saved $25 bucks. That's the best I could come up with to fill that cup of regret half way [8D]
