hi grammygram, that has happened to me before too. i had saw a harley davidson afghan pattern on e-bay and since my hubby is a hog nut, thought i would get it and make it for him for his birthday, well bidding was over 20.00 and i said forget it, the next day i also got a e-mail from the seller saying i could get the pattern for that if i wanted, told her no thanks, a week later it was on for 2.50, bought it then. LOL so i know what you are talking about. some of these sellers are terrible. when i sell on e-bay i am always honest about the patterns and they are always books or magazines(old ones) have a great day. merwyn :music:
