There's another guy who bids on virtually everything I want...
I "know" him, in that I've personally dealt with him from
time to time... I don't think he's a subscriber here, but
at any rate, I usually let him have the items, and just
shrug it off (like a large removable disk drive subsystem
that I honestly would have had trouble with shipping).
But I always get a big, big wide grin when AEK bids against
the guy, and generally wins...
BTW, the guy in question is a decent guy, didn't want to
make it seem otherwise, it's just the his collection has
no public face of any kind, and so it's like this stuff
is just being sucked into a black hole...

I've also noticed tacit cooperation
concerning eBay auctions. If I
recognise a bid as made by a list member, I don't bid against them, and
that seems to be the norm.
Or, you soon realize that you shouldn't bother bidding
against AEK. <grin>
