Its always like that. I was in for this one anyway, but I had a big meeting
at work covering when the auction end time was, so I bid a lot earlier than
I would have otherwise. I guess I was a bigger fool for the money than the
snipe-guys. One bid was placed in the last 2 seconds! I think I pay more as
I'm buying for 'my own account', if you buy with resale in mind you need to
get things cheaper. I might have to start selling off duplicate stuff
sometime though, my shelf is getting full... 8*)
