Dave,
forgive me if i am missing something obvious here, but from what bit of 
information do you base your statement that Steve called  Bob AFTER the but 
it now transaction occured? granted i havent forllowed 100% of the posts on 
this thread but i have seen nothing that indicates what time things 
happened. from what Bob said Steve made a deal for the rock 10 minutes 
BEFORE the buy it now happened - or at least before he was aware the buy it 
now happened. there didnt seem to be any foreknowledge on the part of Bob, 
and certainly not Steve.

sincerely confussed...
