Do things usually not heat up in the bidding until things get down to the last day? Can bob pull this off if decides he hasn't gotten enough for it? Does the fact that he is missing the case and manual hurt the bidding significantly?

I guess that's the risk involved with ebay - you can't pull it off if you don't get the price you want. You can list the item with a reserve price (item does not sell unless the bid price is over the price, and the bidders do not know the price), but it costs more to list it like that.

I'm obviously new to it as well - apparantly I made a beginner's mistake (The auction end time is 8 AM EST on Monday, which means the last second bidding will be reduced, especially since that is 5 AM on the Pacific coast).
