At the very least. US law treats auction bids as contractual obligations. If you win and then try to "pull out" -- whatever the reason -- the seller has the right to come after you for the money. The moral being: don't make bids you can't back up! -- ::: Lazlo (lazlo@swcp.com; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ::: Internet Music Wantlists: http://www.swcp.com/lazlo/Wantlists
