The guy was honest and did say he had a buyer.

I was just finding it amusing how people will start the hour the item is listed and pre-snipe.

He is right, it might go for less. I don't care.

Not that I'm all up on some high horse (remember I've been caught with a pack of dressing from a salad bar, and I have been "busted" with two roulette chips in my pocket)

But it was amusing. Like the people who come to rummage sales the day before with some story about how they have a sick relative and must leave town, but could they just look. Trying to buy the good things before the sale starts.

First time it's happened to me. Probably the last, since I usually have cheap chips up for auction.
