Totally fair and legit. Yeah? I saw an auction that had 4 days & 20+ hours remaining. I also saw that there was NO buy-it-now option. What did this tell me? that I had time to talk it over with the wife (who owns 1/2 my wallet) before making a bid... or so I thought. I knew this mug would be a high priced auction so I knew I had to get the Mrs. involved or I'd be sleeping on the couch for a week. It seems to me that you get alot of crap from people if you retract a bid; why should changing the rules of an auction 1/2 way thru be any different??? just curious -Z
