I just won an Ebay auction on something that I didn’t really want. An item (used scuba regulator) came up last week, 100 bucks “Buy it now” and a starting bid of 30 bucks. I was interested, but not 100 bucks interested, so I threw a bid of 30 bucks in, and that has the effect of killing the “Buy it Now” price. I figured that there would be other bids, I could get it if I wanted it at the end if the price was OK.

Looking closer at it, the item is in rougher shape than I originally noticed. Apparently everybody else noticed it also, because my 30 buck bid held all the way to the end.

I’ll know more when it gets here, maybe I can salvage it, maybe it will end up a paperweight. It’s a good brand, I can get the parts easy, maybe it will clean up.

Such is life in the RBS world.
