I can hopefully clarify a bit, Mark. (That's my auction.) The winning bidder contacted me and said that he accidentally typed $3300 instead of $33.00 as his maximum bid. He was very polite and appologetic and asked that I offer the cog to the second highest bidder...who must have entered $200 thinking that there was NO WAY he would not win. My guess is that the second highest bidder made a similar mistake in typing $200, but he has yet to return an email. Because I have a few* of these, I also offered one to the third highest bidder. i will re-list the auction as well. Stay tuned for news at 11.
*34, to be exact. Anyone: feel free to contact me should you wish to purchase one. 7 and 9 tooth "no-name" cogs also available. I just listed A TON of on-topic goodies today. Have a look! Ebay seller name: gapaja
