I don't see how to retract a bid. I guess if I actually win (which I doubt) I will drive down to get the film and maybe take a trip into NYC. If the seller won't let me local pick-up I will assume it is a scam.
Sorry can't advise on Eb*y procedures having never bought or bid on anything to date. But am sure that a new thread in this Forum would get lots of help from the experts here on APUG.
