A recent thread surfaced about eBay bidding and using snipe services. The discussion was why bid early on an item when a snipe service can be used.
It got me thinking...
How do you handle a situation when an item comes up on eBay and you know that your friends and fellow collectors of the same player/team would want that same item in their collection? I know that there are some Ripken, Canseco, ARod, local teams/players, theme, etc. collectors out there who share mutual interest in the same item. On the same note, there are bidders who you have never met, but you know that they actively bid/acquire items that you are also interested in (and may have engaged in a bidding war).
Have you backed off if that friend/fellow collector placed an earlier bid (maybe even just the minimum bid) to show their interest in the item?
Kind Regards,
Ron.
