[QUOTE="kirbysthebest, post: 402119, member: 279"] maybe in your part of the world the thrift stores are aflush, but I have never seen one in a thrift store here. What often happens in cases like this is the seller is actually bidding against you, and he overshot your maximum. The item in those cases will either show up relisted in a few days, or you will get the notice that a bid has been retracted do you still want it. I was just disappointed that I was watching the auction from five minutes to the close and the bids did not change on the screen until the auction was complete. I have never had that happen before. I think it was a glitch in Ebay. Typically I never bid over $30 for a used machine, but I really wanted that one, and It just so happens to be my money I was spending so I didn't ask anyone else to chip in. I have been shopping on ebay for 15 years, and this is the first time an auction I was watching did not update live. [this post was last edited: 12/7/2018-12:43] [/QUOTE]
