Fairness: Everyone plays by the same rules.

Bidding: It's not a "live" auction - it's automatic - timing is irrelevant,
you tell the system how high you're prepared to go and if that figure is the
highest posted within the time limit - you win!

Last minute bids: to the automatic process it's irrelevant WHEN you bid,
bidding at the last minute is just a head game against other bidders who
also do not understand the system.

Shipping: If shipping is a concern - ASK - most of my listings contain a
fixed shipping price - because that reduces the number of questions on small
items which I can ship cheaply - heavy items like an engine will have to
priced depending on where it's going.

Moronic ideas about allowing bids after the final bid... never mind, Would
you like to buy a perpetual motion machine? a carburetor that runs on water?

You got frustrated because you didn't win, YOU DIDN'T BID ENOUGH!

No, I didn't list the item in question.
