I watched the same auction. I had mailed the seller and had an agreement that he would post outside of USA if i won. With 10 seconds left i clicked my bid - 'Locked out buy seller due to geographic zone.' - OUCH !!
I politely contacted the seller after close of auction to let him know he hadn't unlocked the auction to me. He replied he didn't know how to do it. Such is life -
I agree with you Jarl - someone snapped up a bargain here, hope its someone here.

: The last orange Heuer on Ebay sold for more than USD 1 000.00 and
