Yeah, I've been one myself. I've also been in at the last 3 seconds, only to see the final list of bids record two more after me!!

It is the only major problem with the ebay model. With a timed auction, it is both good and bad that you can get a bid in at the last second in efforts to get a great deal. good because you may get a really sweet deal. Bad because it is fairly simple for someone to force the final price up just to make more money.
it is a double-edged claymore, this one.

Well, it's not a Harris tweed, but I won an Inverness today, and it didn't even get pushed, I bid against someone two hours before close, and then left the house.
At least I have a suitable rain coat now.

That's a great find, Iolaus. If I thought I'd get enough use out of one to make it worthwhile, I'd grab one like that in a heartbeat.
I suppose I could wear it in the rain when NOT kilted, too...
