Mike-

I do not think Larry means to offend.  What he has done is initiate a sort of
reverse auction, thus his follow-up to .auction.  I think by setting prices, you
have automatically set yourself up to be outbid, especially on these items, where
I have seen prices in the $10 range.  A simple "WTB, email me" would prolly serve
you better; then it would become a private transaction.

HTH,
John
