Marilyn, thank you!
I was thinking that it is not fair to the seller if no one bids against me. I might bid low (say $10.) then if no bids the seller has to let me have it at the low price... Also that price goes into the closed file and might drive the prices down.. If another seller list it for 25.00 which might be a fair price, people will see that I got it for $10. and think the other seller is over charging??.... (tink, help me out).
Marilyn, you are way too nice!.. It's an auction, also it's a computer.
.. If they give you a dirty look you will not see it..
.. The worst thing they can do is bid against you and that helps the seller to get their proper price. I do love and appreciate the 'buy-it-now', I don't like people who have none because lots of times I will add such an item at the last minute to make the postage work. Plus it is easy on the nerves!
