I do it not because I am sadistic, but because I am protecting myself: - I think of a single price, enter it, then walk away - What I am bidding on is hidden from other users (in early 2000s I saw my friends outbidding me on collectible software and wondered how they always beat me to it -- turns out ebay at one time (might still do this) had the capability for others to see what you're bidding on! So I "set it and forget it" using esnipe and don't have to worry about people looking at what I'm bidding on. -- Jim Leonard (trixter at oldskool.org) http://www.oldskool.org/ Help our electronic games project: http://www.mobygames.com/ Or check out some trippy MindCandy at http://www.mindcandydvd.com/ A child borne of the home computer wars: http://trixter.wordpress.com/
