Congratulations on getting a deal. I know some bidders like to throw out low bids on lots of things that they might want in the hopes that they get through now and then. I tried it myself and it does work but as you said it takes lots of patience. The great part is that it works even better on older gear that the mega buyers/sellers will not touch.
There's a "Jaguar" seller on ebay, it's so funny to watch him buy a rig for $1200 by outbidding 15 other people then turn around three weeks later and try to sell it with a starting bid of $1600. The item just sits and sits and he keeps on re-listing it and re-listing it until a sucker comes along. And yes I use the word sucker because if 15 other people thought that $1200 was too much, you have got to be a fool to pay $1600.
