Actually, there are only five(5) bidders and I suspect one of them has a vested interest. If I am wrong, someone please explain 4***u's bidding logic.

It is implausible to me that one with that much experience(400+) would be bidding like a neophyte.

How do we know how much experience that bidder has?:confused:

Be fair now. You gotta add Shopsmith shipping costs.

There were two bidders that went head to head and I believe both were set for automatic bid. One was 4***u bidding $38 max - he lost. The winner (i***d) had obviously bid $39 or more.

When I sell stuff on eBay, no one ever goes wild with their bidding. If I thought they would, I'd sell everything in the shop and buy new.

I can hear it now

"Honey, you won't believe the deal I got on eBay today. It was tough but I won and saved a ton of money on what it would have cost from Shopsmith. Now I can connect the bandsaw and whenever you need something bansawed we are ready to do. High Five!:rolleyes:"
