Wow!!!! What can I say Jim. You ARE a prince.
As for people lurking for bid times to expire on items, I've had that happen to me too. I was bidding for some It Bites DVDs and when it was within 15 mins of the close eBay crashed and I couldn't get back in to my item. The guy that won them put his bid in with about a minute to go. Grrrrrrrrrr!!!! There IS a word for people who do that. Politeness stops me from putting it here but the cockneys would call him a Berk (short for Berkshire Hunt!!!!)
An Abba song springs to mind!!!!
