Message	Just to be clear, bidding on your own auction is illegal. You're opening yourself up to legal and possible job-loss liabilities. I'm glad nothing came of it of course, I wouldn't wish that upon you or anyone else just because you get frustrated with bidders. [ http://pages.ebay.com/help/tutorial/sbiddingtutorial/a1.html ] Next time just have the auction removed and relisted. It's not worth the risk to just avoid that hassle. Recursively Yours, Kenny...
