It was the way the auction was listed that clearly showed that there wasn't any serious bidding competition to be expected. Thus the $1 difference between the buy it now and the opening bid. Like I said , in hind sight I should have used the fixed price option had I known about it.And ,yes I do understand what people are saying about commiting to an auction . This particular advertisement was intended more as a for sale ad than an auction. My ignorance of ebay listing options is what prevented me from listing it properly. To use other people's words , it was never about "weasling out of", or "cheating " bidders.
