>Isn't that all it ever comes down to? It's not quite that simple. I can't remember the exact values, but let's look at the two possible scenarios: a) The highest bid was at $90. At the same time Hugh snipes for $200, Chris for $190. RESULT: Hugh takes the cake for $191 b) The highest bid was at $90. Some days before, Hugh spots the auction and lets Chris know he's going for it. Chris hadn't noticed that auction before Hugh pointed it out, so he drops it on Hugh's behalf. Hugh snipes for $200. RESULT: Hugh takes the cake for $91 So that's a $100 difference. Now, at least where I live, $100 more at the end of the month makes a hell of a lot of a difference... Pedro R.
