    I will keep my eye on this sale

    as I said given the amounts involved, think this
    ( with the livehelp transcript/ email) makes interesting reading about Ebay's safety !

    I must admit its been a while since I have been perpared to buy anything of great value. ( although still use to sell a bit)

    With one bid you might hide away and warn others with lots the seller will spot you and remove your bids.

    The only way to do this would be to snipe at the last minute and try to win them all.

    As identified in the discussion boards, do a search for
