ONLY 4500yen!...........thats not a long drawn out battle...thats a steal. The B20 Plus you got the Yoshitsune, Silver Swallow set and more. I dare say you would have had your hands full if I had seen that my friend LOL. Note to self: make sure to get a close up view of those large steamy lots for auction.
The long drawn out battle was not the price but the ending time. Another bidder kept adding a small amount to increase the end time by 5 or 10 minutes. It went on for almost 2 hours and with the time difference it was getting quite late - just after midnight. If they weren't bidding the auction would have ended around 10:30pm (my time) for about 3000jpy.
For those who aren't familiar with Yahoo Japan Auctions. You can't snipe bid in the final seconds like eBay. Bidding in the last 5 minutes will also extent the end time of the auction to give others a chance to bid again.
