As I suspected.... Thank you for clarifiying. I try to get around to close all older auctions that haven't gotten bids... but the auction forum is very busy, and I don't catch them all.
In the future, it's a good idea to at least post an auction as "closed" in a reply to let potential bidders know that the auction is over.
Bidders - when you find an auction that was posted over a week ago, it's a good idea to Pm the seller to find out if the auction is still in play.
