Hey Andrea, Michael (Patrick), and all: I make it a point never to ask any of my friends what their ebay name is so I don't have to feel guilty and if I do know their name and outbid them anyway, I claim early stages of senility. If I happen to be perusing Ebay and see Michael bidding on something, I immediately outbid him, especially if he is bidding on something of Kirby's. Kirby is my friend and I know Michael will keep bidding it up until it's his. So, more money for Kirby (yea!!). I snipe at every turn. If I want it, it's mine!! As Jack Lemmon says in The Apartment, "that's the way it crumbles, cookie-wise" !!

I noticed that, but I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. I mostly buy and if I want something a friend of mine is bidding on, I'll sometimes let it go (depends on the piece, of course). Of course, the sellers will say this is bad for business and they're right. I still liked the option of standing aside for a bud.

I guess it's now truly a 'silent auction'... bidders' screen names are no longer legible, regardless of the going-price... below is the new quote on all Bidding History pages: >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> To help keep the eBay community safe, enhance bidder privacy, and protect our members from fraudulent emails, eBay has changed how User IDs display on the bid history page. Only you and the seller of the item can view your User ID, all other members will see anonymous user IDs, such as x***y. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I guess as a bidder, I kinda like the limiting of fraud, however, I'll miss putting my screen name out there because I truly felt that it helped to link buyers to My Store with that silly little Red Door... What're y'all's thoughts? FranKenwick ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's Tax Time!
