Ah...davedavedave...
hm...patience ...lets just wait and see if that last n800 that asp. got is the 1st of the two. If it was... then ...I'm guessing in less than a couple of days he'll put the 2nd up for auction.Contacting the seller to see if he IS going to put the 2nd up for auction may make him consider jacking his price up...which no one wants. If however asp. got the 2nd of the two n800's (since the seller didn't specify in the auction post that he had already sold one or not...I'm assuming he hadn't ..) then that is that and we will not see a 2nd pop up in auction inside the next 2 days.

I'm monitoring mr. seller...the moment he (hopefully) throws the 2nd up for auction I'll post the announcement here.

edit: Yeah Dave...when it boils down to bid and the option to buy-out ...you have a choice... grab it for the more expensive buy out price...or throw a bid down immediately so it disables the buy-out option for possible other contenders and forces them to contest with you...or gamble that no one will bid or buy it out ...and in the last couple minutes of the auction put a sucker-punch bid in hoping to snag it for the opening asking price...I would heartily suggest afterward putting a max bid amount on it that makes you feel comfortable so that if someone else has the same idea to jerk it out of your hands at the last second the computer will automatically bid you up a few cents higher than the competitor's bid...so said competitor can't pry it from your hands at the very last second of the auction by simply bidding a couple pennies higher than you did.
