[78-L] Bantering about bidding.

     I've been watching this discussion on sniping or high bidding.  I 
have bought many records off oboy and have never sniped.  First I don't 
have the time to wait until the last minute to bid, although I 
understand you can do it automatically now.  If you know how - I don't. 
  Like Taylor I bid what I feel I can afford and then wait to hear from 
the seller.  9 times out of 10 I have won the record and usually for 
much less than my high bid.  In fact many times I win with the minimum 
bid.  I don't buy many records any more but I have won everyone I bid on 
the last year.  One tip though.  I seldom make my bid before the last day.
     As for the step bidders.   I think that often they are a bidder who 
bid a high amount and others are bidding forcing an automatic raise in 
his bid.  I am oftern shown as bidding half a dozen times but it is all 
due to the high bid I placed originally.    Jack

I have a rule-of-thumb which is that I don't bid on a record if it has 
already received a bid, unless it's a must-have item.
