I think the bump issue was actually more "freinds of the OP" doing the bumping than anything. Same folks over and over and they pushed it to the edge... but I'm not even sure some of folk even use the forum anymore.
Im with you Pat. No reason not to if youre also interested. Except maybe the the first buyer was trying to cut the price, but that is thier issue.
I don't view that kinda deal as auction activity; just one buyer willing to pay the asking price, another not willing. Both willing, you gave the first offer plenty of leeway and notice, still respecting social convention of your place "in line" behind them; I wasn't involved, but Kudos from me here, not scorn !
I think the high price bidding is the main target of the anti-auction thoughts. Too easy to manipulate it for profit on such a small scale IMO. (not to mention it may be a legal target; requiring legal license if OGRF allows certain actions to take place(?)
