I won the stenograph machine!!!!

I placed a maximum bid of $350.51 about a half hour before the auction closed and won the machine.

It went from $285 to $302 in the last minute, but thanks to you guys at DU I placed a safe high bid.

Thanks everyone!

DU RAWKS!!!!

5. yes you did, thank you

I wasn't going to bid $600, because I didn't want some freak to bid $575 and leave it at that because I wasn't prepared to go that high.

But I had planned to pay $350 anyway, and to get it for $325, plus shipping, is awesome.

7. its the machine court reporters use

I'm in school right now studying to be a court reporter - which is the person who sits at a trial and types into the little machine and takes down everything that's said during the trial.

A stenograph machine is the little machine I'll be typing on.

This is the one I bid on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=62044&item=3859696278&rd=1

9. thanks

I managed to fend off a guy with the handle Stenoman2, who apparently trolls around and snipes steno equipment. I heard about him from someone in my class.

But I beat him!

Yay me!
