Wes,

I am sorry if I have offended you. My memory may be fuzzy, but I seem to recall at the time that gun was under discussion, you commented that you thought you would "pass it up". That is when I made a bid on it. At the time that I placed my bid, there were no other bids on the gun, and it had been under discussion on the Forum for almost a week. As Doubs pointed out it was not me, but Auction Arms that keeps bidders "hidden" until the reserve is met. The auction closed without the reserve being met, so the gun was still available.

Many times I have passed on bidding on an item I was interested in when I recognised the bidder as a Forum member. Like Jerry, I am sure that I have bid against another Forum member when I didn't recognise his auction handle, but I have often discussed with a fellow member when both of us wanted the same item, and worked something out.

It is unfortunate that you took my bidding on that gun as a personal affront to you, I was not trying to devious or sneaky, but honestly thought that you had given up interest in the gun.
