I suppose that in the most basic terms I figured that if someone
offered me a cash to pull the items that I should indeed pull them
from the auction. I felt at this point, it ceased to be an auction and
became more of a sale, or perhaps blind auction, if thats the right
word for it.
It did occur to me that people might in fact want to equal this cash
offer, but I didn't want to give away what the offer was. The person
in question made a proxy bid and also a large cash offer. I did give
others the chance to equal this offer, but I chose to keep the exact
offer secret as sort of its own proxy bid.
Note though that while I've sold some LEGO via LUGNET, most notabley
Technic Space Shuttles at well below S&H prices, this is in fact, my
first ever attempt at an auction. I've only really participated in one
other auction to date, AucZilla VII IIRC, and I've never, ever, bid on
anything at eBay. I really didn't (and still don't) have a good
understanding of auctioning LEGO, so I gathered what I could from some
of the "standard" auction rules and went to work. If I hold any
auctions in the future, perhaps I'll amend and smooth over my rules to
account for cash offers, but I felt my statement about pulling items
before they got awarded was sort of a catch-all in this situation.

| Sorry if I'm not being very clear. Let me try again. One NEVER reveals the amount of proxy bids, because they are supposed to be secret. That's the idea. Even when you reveal that "Larry has the lot of Duplo Giraffes at 12.00 and it is G1" you never (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.market.theory)
