<There is no price for friendship or respect from a friend collector :)>
True! You are absolutely right. I think it's hard to determine a bidding pattern or behaviour when it comes to competing with other collectors. Maybe Akalabeth was a bad example, as it's an exceptionally coveted item. There are dozens, even hundreds of less sought-after items out there that I wouldn't mind letting go if someone else requests me to do so. After all, everything will turn up on eBay again. Patience is a virtue ;-) Fact is, I often snipe an auction about 2-4 seconds before it ends, not knowing that another collector is determined to do the same, so we end up bidding against each other. It comes with the habit of practicing a rather efficient way of bidding, so to speak. /Alexander ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
