Cuckoo Clock

I've been restoring a clock for resale. For said clock I need a certain size piece of convex glass. This lady in the next state has this size glass. She asks $4.00. I put it on my watch list. First time I forgot to bid, it doesn't sell. She relisted.

2nd time I put in a bid early because the damned thing ends at 7:00 AM, I enter a bid of $6.50. I get outbid.

She relists that fuckin' thing or one like it again. I forget to bid, it doesn't sell, she relists. I watch it again. I enter a bid of $7.00 the night before it's supposed to end, I get outbid.

Each time she fuckin relists it it has the same end time...7:00 AM. I am not getting up at 7 on a Sunday each week to bid on this fuckin' piece of glass. AND...

How is it that when there are no bids from me, the thing doesn't sell and gets relisted but the second I put in a bid the thing sells, and not to me? Maybe ol' Cohen from the board has a point about shill bidding going on? I've been watching this same piece of glass for almost a month.
