Thanks flossy you are right.  In the scheme of life this is a very first world problem.  One of the auctions as soon as it ended, one of the watchers send through a request to "relist the item" - I know it is her as there is only one watcher - just did my head in.  The other one got to a $1 reserve and the watcher still watched it - it was never going to get any lower and she was never going to bid.  Don't worry, I removed both items and have donated to the local op shop - so problem gone.  Thanks for all your comments trademe community.  Merry Christmas all!
