I know this is OT, but for E-ba* here in the US, if the bid price goes above $200 the bidder's IDs are not listed. It's similar to the private auction you speak of. It's a new rule they have.
So we have no idea if we are bidding against a fellow time-nut if the bid price goes over $200 USD. The same change took place on E-ba* UK last month I understand. -Brian, WA1ZMS -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Bruce Lane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Huh?
