I bid 35K on it to see how quickly it went to reserve.
Then I get an email from eBay saying the reserve had been lowered to $41.7K.
I go to eBay to "Buy It Now" and while I reviewed the pictures before I hit the button, I get an alert saying "bidding has ended for this item with buy it now".
It sold at 11 am something EST.
I called the seller to say I'd buy it cash for $43K and He said he couldn't go against his word to the buyer and his reputation (100% feedback) which I can understand and respect. If the deal falls through, I get first dibs, but I doubt it...
Missed it by a ----hair!
