I thought only lie nielsen bidders were the stupidest...

Then I see this guy
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6130206593 he gets into
a bidding war and pays $226.00 for a tool that this guy
http://www.members.shaw.ca/mathewa/ sells for $180.00. Ebay at its best.
I should email hte guy and see if he wants to buy a bridge

A little better 'n that ($0.83) and gaining.

I wouldn't be surprised if we hit par with the yankee dollar in the

The greenback is falling against other currencies right now.

He must have slipped out the door. The final bid I saw was $184.50.
