What in the world is going on, Steve?  Even without the "newbie" bidding over
and over in an effort to finally gain the top bid, there is another bidder that
has to have bid more than this previously.  That bidder also has *two* bids in
the system, both more than the $800!!

I fail to understand how anybody could think these unworking boards could be
worth this much.  I was quite interested in this auction, but no longer.  I
might have gone to $300 on this stuff.
