... everyone else, Steve. I was monitoring the auction, too, and also planned to place a late bid (I rarely bid on anything before the final day).

I did write to the seller to find out who had bought the chips (BUT, it wasn't me who complained about the sale! <g>).

Whoever complained and suggested that the seller negate his deal with you was out of line -- and I hope he reads this thread so he knows that I think so. ----- jim o\-S
