Yeah, I think that was me, Mike. You're correct that the Japanese like to do their eBay bidding "mano e mano," before the end of the auction, like real men. None of that dishonorable, back stabbing, sniping for them. No, no, no...
Certainly a commendable trait, honor; I just wish I could afford to be that "honorable" when it came to bidding up stuff on eBay <grin>!
