Guys, the original thread was closed for the very reason of NOT regurgitating the argument of 'who was at fault?', as the discussion was becoming circular, and that's precisely what's happening again on this thread!

In retrospect, Geoffrey, you should've thought twice about starting a new thread, other than with the intention of reminding members how the matter is to be resolved, which you've done. Therefore, other than discussion pertaining to that *specific* matter, and how the auction should be carried out, further input will be removed without further warning.

Marco.
