Guest Rick Research Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 AGH! I thought you HAD it, Robin!!!!Generally not a good idea to "talk up" items which are Still Out There since it may well result in the previously-lone-interested-party being outbid. Some "reward" that ends up being, eh? There are folks who are not polite about "first dibs" situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some "reward" that ends up being, eh? There are folks who are not polite about "first dibs" situations. It was actually interesting to watch the bidding. There were two very determined guys (I wasn't one of them, I hasten to add) who were bidding against each other for the whole week (starting well before I posted this thread).......then along comes a sniper and wins the group!I think it could well have been the same guy who got the Freikorps group last year.

Ramblinfarms Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I agree with Rick that bidding on something a fellow Forum member had been interested in is unsporting, but I am not above using Bid robot or one of the other snipers if I have been in it from the start of the auction. In this day and age, it seems like it is the only way to possibly win a "hot" item. After losing to several "in the last 5 seconds" of the auction, I added the sniper to my bag of tricks, as I am sure many here have also done. A lot of folks would be hesitant to admit it though.

'Unsporting'??....... perish the thought, old bean!Seriously though, in this particular case I think it's pretty unlikely that any of the bidders had even heard of this forum.I also use a sniper.....it's the ONLY way to bid, and wholly ethical in my opinion.
