Yup. I just started bidding for one.
I noticed the name the last two times that I've tried. I didn't realize this guy has been doing this for some time. How many do you know he's gotten? What do they end up going for most of the time?
I was just about to ask if it was exindenver. (How close is Fort Collins to Denver?)

No, that Fort Collins fellow is not me. I've noticed his bids when I was trying to get one a week or so ago.
I noticed one of the Jensen went for $459 today to lw of Freedon NY. Much more than the usual range of $234 to $339.
The units ship from uBid's warehouse so I'm assuming uBid is auctioning the units or is doing it on behalf of someone with a big supply. I thought there was something funny going on at uBid (like the Bot idea) until lookinco from Vancouver BC indicated he bought one for $54 a few day after I got mine for $279.
I should have held out for lower but $279 was about the lowest winning bid when I was looking. I also felt it was a reasonable price and didn't want to be held hostage in front of the computer by uBid.
nyvram, hang in there if you want it for your price. Maybe you'll get lucky like lookinco.
