    Somebody outbid me, please?

    I put a bid on this really nice looking 250r roller chassis on e-bay, but just found one locally for cheap. :oops: I'd feel really stupid having to buy it because I acted to fast. I don't want to retract my bid because I would hate it if someone did that to me (plus e-bay doesn't allow it). I've only got $205 bid on it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=43972&item=24 54296569&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBBI%3AIT

    Yeah, I could just pull it I guess. I e-mailed him what's up and hopefully he'll understand. I have little spaz attacks on stuff alot. I gotta bid on it so no one else will. Of course, I never sit back and try to figure out how darn expensive it would be to build one from just parts.

    That guy is about an hour away from me. I might have to bid on it if it doesn't get much higher. If anyone else wants it I can pick it up and hold it for you. I wouldn't worry about your bid, I'm sure someone will snipe it at the last minute.

    There is an option to retract the bid.. but you can only do it if you are the only bidder if memory serves, or you are the high bidder.. I cant remember. I do know, once someone else has bid after you, you cant retract it.

    For future use,

    I believe you can only retract your bid if you are the high bidder and there are not LESS than 12hrs left in the auction. Here's the link to the retract bid page.
