I can't believe no one has said "You're a contractor, just pay full price for it you cheapskate!" It's a keyboard, you're going to claim back the tax on it anyway!

The keyboard I am after is no longer manufactured, it can only be bought second hand.

Oh no, it's not one of them steam powered IBM clacky clacky ones is it?

Yes, it was one of those two handled jobbies so you can really get behind it.

Ideally you might want SKA to work on other keyboards as well... Hope that doesn't set the release date back beyond 2030.

In which case you should have put a higher max bid on it. I shouldn't have to explain basic supply and demand economics to a guru like you.

Stop whining and put a higher max reserve on it next time.

Yes, exactly that - supply and demand, sniping hides demand and prevents correct estimation what it will be, this makes people make lower bids on the basis of their incorrect calculation that demand is low (as snipers only bid at the end). Just another reason why this practice should be banned or worked arounded (auto auction extension or random auction closures).

You want everything banned. AtW's utopia would be a very dull place...

very dull but it would make SKA easier to program
