That is extremely disappointing, but par for the course with most major auctions. Truthfully that is one of the reasons that I do more purchasing on eBay than major auctions. When the auction is done, it's done. No games, no call backs, no waiting up all night. I think it is a terrible way to run an auction, but it seems like everyone does it and a lot of people must like it. Usually if there is an item that I must have, I set the limit so high that I am pretty much guaranteed to win it. Then you second guess yourself with shilling. It's a no win situation. It's another reason to do business with good dealers too if you have some you are familiar with. Good luck in the future, Jason
