I don't get auctions

[sheepherder]

Walter, If you've been reading the Happy Birthday posts, you'll notice that many of our members are getting on in age...There ain't all that much time left to them...

I'm close to that magic number...I can't afford to wait for a 'good deal' to come along...If what I really want is offered, I'll jump on it...

By the way, a floor bidder will win the auction if there is a tie bid with a previously submitted online bid- unfair but them's the rules.

I've been caught out by that floor bidder that Don mentioned...I got all excited when I saw my absentee bid listed as the winning bid...Only to be crushed when I found that a floor bidder had bid the exact same amount and like Don says, them's the rules...
