My bid of $25 precedes Chazhounds. Yes you PM'd me "days" ago but as my bid is still the highest I didnt need to do anything else, I dont understand what you are implying by that?
Sorry for any misunderstanding, redbulldog. I meant no offence, but I can see how it might have looked. What I meant was that I had PM'ed you regarding the tied offers (since this is not an "auction", but rather an invitation for offers, I considered 2 offers at $25 each a tie), and had not heard from you or seen another post from you in the thread, so thought you were not interested in breaking a tie - I am sorry if we misunderstood each other - Here is a copy of the PM I sent you at 5:34 PM EST, Jan 15, almost exactly 4 days ago:

<your name withheld>,
"Chazhound" has tied your offer of $25 in the thread: [thread]78315[/thread] Cheers,

So I thought you understood that I considered it a tie, but if you considered otherwise, I am truly sorry. However, now I have set a BIN of $50, so I would still like to seek offers closer to that number, etc. I honestly didn't mean to convey anything to Chazhound other than that I considered the offers a tie (both for the same amount- one a PM, the other a post) and that I thought you didn't want to break the tie. It is also clear from my post to Chazhound above that I did not yet consider him the winner either, because I asked him to submit an offer larger that $25 for me to consider him in the lead, etc.
I hope that clears things up a little bit for all interested parties. I value my reputation here and am interested in doing that which is fair to all parties involved, incuding my customers and myself. Thanks,
