I don't know what it's up to now, to be honest. The seller won't be available till 630pm tomorrow evening, which is pretty late in the day. But if I can get it for $40, it'll be worth it.
I don't want to ask what the price is at now, in case the seller might be dishonest and try to get more than the asking price just to get a little more money (while at the moment wouldn't make much difference since we're starting at $40). But in the event that there is a bidding war, what should the cutoff be as to how much I should offer for it?
