Isn't it best with ebay auctions to wait until the final minutes and then bid though? If you put in an initial bid of £50 like you did, other people know it's worth £50 to you, so it gets competitive. Anyway - it was a nice find. Got any plans as to when you'll be over here for a holiday (and/or work)? Are you still applying for BBC jobs (eg John Barrowman's assistant ;) )?
