Go ahead and bid... by Jon Meyers
Today's eBay book auction of the day (not mine), and maybe one for the Anti-FAQs, eh Auntie? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3578188974 (But why not end the auction and ask for a refund? eBay actually is reasonable about these things if you ask nicely.) -- Jon Meyers
