Just for the record, eBay will not accept a bid from the same computer 
that created the listing. To the best of my knowledge, even if he signs 
on using a different screen name.

You have to look at the bid times. the bids are listed in amount order, 
not time.
On the 20th Old Guy(277) bid $25. This was the FIRST bid, about noon
New guy(0) bid 4 times to beat it, Just kept adding and rebidding, 'til 
he was high bidder. This was near Midnight.
On the 21st Old guy bid $100
New Guy bid 8 times to get on top. the next to last bid got him there 
with $102.50, and then he bid again with a higher unknown, "Insurance" 
bid. He's caught up with "Bidder Fever", bound to win this one at any 
cost.

I love this kind of bidder!

I've bought a lot and sold a lot on eBay since about 97. Have only got 
stuck once for $5.

Regards, Ray
