Well, ...I almost had a great find. I saw a Portland Head LE on eBay with a starting bid of $249, no reserve. There were several pictures of it showing a minor paint flaw on the roof. Good buy for the opening bid I thought. No one bid all week except for me. A few hours before the close of the auction, I ran my proxy bid up a little to cover in case of a last minute bid. I was the winning bid until there was one minute left, then the war began. To make a long story short I was outbid in the last 36 seconds. The computer wouldn't accept my final bid. So close but yet so far.
