My recent Apple Repair troubles have inspired me to get one of these too.

So, I bid $249 on one of the newtons, and was the leading bidder, until 7
seconds before the auction ended, when some stinker bid $2 more than me.

I don't get it. There are a million auctions with no bidders, all ending at
the same time (or within 5 minutes of each other). This person could have
bid on any one of the others and let me have mine for $249 and gotten
his/hers for $249 also. Instead they paid more, and I just went and bid on
one of the others for $249 and got it.

I am glad I was home to see it and recover. I didn't want to put in a
higher bid because there were so many auctions I knew I could get it for
$249. Some people are just dumb (and/or mean)!

That's all. Just wanted to vent. :-)

Loren
