I may be a little confused here but are dazzlegas and Agyris the same person?

I'm starting to wonder if I should have put it up at all.
No, no, I'm not whining/complaining/groaning. Just expressing. Please don't take it that way. No sour kobolds here.
I just think somebody is going to get a heck of a deal, as the sheer cost of materials was $700. People don't realize that the labor on the thing was the expensive part.
I'm aware that shipping is the tough part on this one. At least I'm not trying to profit from it, which I tend to find on most things I bid on.
I also realize that there isn't a lot of motivation for people to bid on it again until Sunday. I guess that will tell the real story.
It should be interesting, at the very least.
Good luck, TB.

Just be glad you aren't trying to sell real/normal used furniture, you would be lucky to get a 1/3 of what you paid for that. Your doing good to have bidding this high. I have bought plenty of furniture on eBay, brand new, for 20% of normal retail. You should be thrilled your recovering this much, and I am sure its going to go well over $400.00.
Getting that much, and with its shipping issues, your doing awesome! Just think, anyone who buys this might be surprised to find shipping costs another couple of hundred. Even with me picking it up myself I am looking at at least a $100.00 in gas alone.
So the only ones who should bid a lot will be those close to you. Fortunately for you there are good size gaming communities in Phoenix, Tucson, and Las Vegas.
Another thing you need to remember, your selling a piece of furniture you used for three years. It is used furniture, a highly unique piece with a very specific purpose. Plus you have shown the minor wear and tear damage it has.
Your doing very well to be getting what is already being bid, let alone how much more it is likely to go up by/on Sunday.

The table is mine!!
Well, until someone outbids me. Won't my wife be surprised if no one does so?!

Certainly you're right, TreeBore.
However, this is different than regular furniture, too. I guess it was in "new" condition once... it's sort of different for hand made stuff. (I guess I never thought of it as ever being "Brand New" since we made it.) It's in about 99% condition of when it was built. (A few paint scuffs/chips, but no structural damage. Repaint it, and it's new again.)
But yeah, I hear you. Furniture and eBay don't really combine very well, especially not something this big. We probably are doing well for it under all the circumstances. It just seemed like eBay would reach the largest number of gamers, so I did that.
Luckily for me my job moved me here from Spokane, Washington. I can't tell you what the cost was for just moving the table, sadly. It's actually one of the other reasons I'm selling it; I want to get back to the NW sometime, and need to simplify my stuff to make the move doable.
Thanks for listening to my sincere bit of sadness for letting it go. It's a kewl table. I'm gonna miss it. That's all.
Hopefully, I'll see some of you guys on Sunday!
