[78-L] Let's batter the little bitty bidder!

[Taylor Bowie]

 snipe at $3.01.  C'mon folks, this can sometimes be FUN!  When people
 put in early bids, it reveals their technique.  When you snipe, they
 don't know you are there.

Mike  brings up something else which baffles me.  If I look at an auction 
and see that a bidder has raised his or her bids several times,  and that 
the bids go like this:  $11,  $21,  $31,  $41...and that the bidder now has 
the high bid at $48.22...gee,  I don't need to use my degree in Rocket 
Science (obtained via mail order)  to figure out that his high bid must 
be....$51.

(Some are even worse...they'll bid $5, $10, $15,  $20...I'd love to play 
poker with people like that,  as I'm sure they would  happily show me the 
cards they're holding.)

And,  yes,  as Mike says...it is sort of fun to go ahead and bid $51.01 and 
take the thing home...assuming you want it,  that is.  That's the "Truth AND 
Consequences" in a nut shell!

No one could ever figure out my bidding system because I can't figure it out 
myself.
