In this case, it was a piccolo.  Asking price was 2250, I offered 1800.  No
response for days until the last hour or so, where I'd been notified that
my offer had been refused, but that an offer placed the last day had been
accepted--for 1800.  

Was this legit according eBay rules?  Apparently so--what I was told was
that the seller is not bound to accept the highest offer--he can elect to
take any of the offers that he chooses.

Heck if I want to play in that pool.

Cheers,
