4+ hours left now, but there is no Buy it Now. I didn't think that
would happen, especially since it's still only 1 bidder at 30 dollars.


What I meant was, if it once had Buy it Now, why doesn't it have it
anymore?

Some dweeb will buy it for 50 cents more than your maximum bid in the last
3 seconds of the auction. Happens every single time.


I have had that. A totally new bidder outbid me with 2 seconds left.

On another occasion, I wasn't crazy about something, but would have
bought it if I had known I'd be the only bidder, for 5 dollars. But
no one bid on it! Two weeks later it was back, and it seemed likely
no one woudl bid, but I still worried about those 3 second guys.

But I was the only bidder.
