dear scott, i told here to bid 350 so she did . then i thought to be sure i would retain the engine i told her to raise the bid to 500. she was never out bid and the time line was 30 seconds between. u see if i had planned to up the bid this way do u think i would have told you that i was doing it. and especially when i said i was going to keep the engine this way .even if i had to pay fees to ebay. go back and read more carefully before u make accusations .
