Chuck, I am guessing that eBay killed the auction. I had one killed by them because I used the term "like new" in the description, which is apparently against their rules. Go figure! When they killed the auction, it just literally disappeared. That is my guess.

Last night, I was the high bidder on a Celestron 15x70mm binocular (same binocular as Barska, Oberwerk, Galileo, Brunton, Bear, etc.), at about $22 plus shipping, with several days yet to go on the auction. This morning, there is no record of it in "My eBay". Not as a win, a loss, or even as watched. It has simply vanished. Searches do not turn it up again. In the past, when a seller has ended an auction early, it still showed-up if I was watching or bidding on it; it just noted on the auction page itself that it ended early. I've sent an enquiry to eBay, we'll see what their reply is. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://gallery.utahastronomy.com Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
