you can do a GIN even after the bidding has started ,I've got another friend that has many many auctions and he has did it for me in the middle of the biddings.I'm sorry if I seem like I'm begging but I really would love this watch and I can cover the credits with no problem.
I don't know how your friend did it. I have had several people asking special for this watch. Still new to listia and still learning how this site works.
