If there's a downside to asking a question for a current auction item on GameUsedForum.Com,it would be that you risk the very real danger of alerting competitors.
Recently I asked a question about a Wigginton bat I had bid on. Having lost the auction,I would have to say,what are the odds the winner was not among the 250 views,my thread gathered?
Now,I know enough not to post a current auction item I desperately want. And if I have a question about it I email the query to certain people. But has anybody else lost an item to someobody on the forum after asking a question on GUF?
