Poor chap must have assumed that "watchers" always bid on items. Lol. This was the previous auction with a £299 starting price:

Eesh.. Is it bad if I watch this auction now?

Errrm... it doesn't! It just raises his blood pressure. Apparently, if you send him a box of Ramipril he'll let you watch

I guessed that, thats like a cycle shop closing the doors and only letting people enter if they are intending to buy something,

plus watchers usually tend to mean someone will bid and now he has lost all those potential bidders,

 

[manitou916]

Good analogy. And I think you're right. Watchers can easily become bidders... particularly at the end of an auction if the price is right - I seem to do this quite a lot!

Is it just me or have several of you now put this on your watch list?

 

[amt27]
