So she had final bids for over $3K, and presumably since the auctions ran their full course she had to pay eBay's final fees on those sales. After all that screwing around, in the end, she got $2600.

She's out about $500 simply because she decided not to abide by her promise.

Karma.

It's even better (or worse) than that. A potential buyer offered her $3500 for the entire machine long before the piecemeal auctions ended - - and she refused.

:D :D :D :D :D
