Now quite OT: Re: ePay

The advantage of proxy bidding is being able to bid on something that ends at a time when you are not at the computer. Couple of comments though on ebay bidding. 1) By bidding the maximum you are willing to pay, if/when you get outbid, who cares! 2) The only problem (I see) with bidding early is that others see the bid amount and might end up in a competitive situation of bidding higher just for the thrill of being in an auction and winning. Seems to me that live auctions have far more potential for this than ebay. 3) I will occassionally bid early, but that is only to keep the daily notifications coming from ebay of what I have bid on ... and of course to see any outbid notices. I learned a long time ago not to bid the maximum early, but to wait for the last minute or so of the auction to make my final bid. If a sniper wants it more than I do, they should be allowed to pay for that priviledge :)!
