Bob has excellent ethics, This is not an auction, and he is free to sell what he has to whomever he pleases. If you will notice I put down an offer before you decided to turn this into an auction even though you really hated to do it. As far as you are concerned I spoke for it first, I offered $200 on the 8th and you offered $240, and then I rose my offer to $250, to settle the deal quickly. There are plenty of oportuniteis out there for you to acquire a remote, and believe me, Bob has nothing but ethics.
