No one won the >auction. The auction was stopped, and no money was shelled out. That is true, Austin, but I believe Mark's comment was on the overblown nature of the thread as it had developped, complete with extensive legal consultations (both with dictionaries and attorneys). If I understood Mark correctly, his point was that an item was offered for sale by someone who didn't have the item to sell it. That in itself does not seem right, whatever the actual legal ramifications of such an act may or may not be, as interpreted by whoever, in the context of the laws of this or that state, how those may or may not be different on the internet, etc. Guy
