Thanks

To Jon... My computer was refusing to start. Unplugging the CDRW drive in order to allow more power to other peripherals seemed to help. Jon came up with the inadequate power supply suggestion by the way.

Odd thing about ebay auctions, everyone seems to bid in the last 24 hours. What's the point in a 9 day listing if everyone ignores it for 8 days?

Today I have clashing meetings, so the unit won out.

I would have thought it was obvious... the shorter the time between bidding and the end of the auction, the fewer chances that others will have to outbid you and therefore the greater your chance of winning the auction at the lowest price.

Longer auction times are better for the seller because it means that more people will see the item listed and this increases the possible number of bidders and hence the highest possible winning price.

But I'm far from an expert. Mrs J is the one with the multitude of eBay experiences...

I can see a certain superficial logic in that. But it doesn't hold water when you think deeper.
