Just to clarify, in case someone *is* upset about my little faut paux....
When I see a BIN on an item with no reserve that's in the "not a bad
deal" ballpark I do *not* put in the first bid and kill the BIN. Rather, I put
a watch on it and if someone else bids first I might go back and put in a
bid.
In this case, I didn't pay close 'nuff attention to the BIN price. Had I, *I*
might have snapped it up for that price! At the very least, I would've left
it alone to give someone *else* a chance to grab it.
Again, I'm *very* sorry if I spoiled it for someone else! (I'm also sorry
that *I* didn't snap it up... that's a darned good price!) I'll try and be a
little more observant in the future.
Humbly...
Chris
