[78-L] Casals/Bach

[Malcolm Rockwell]

Not quite. I discovered that, in trying to figure out what a single 
bidder has posted as his high bid, that each time I increase the amount 
I am willing to bid it counts as one of the bids.
For instance, bidder A decides that that Francis Craig on Bullett 
starting at $3.00 is so rare and in such fine condition he's bid $200.01 
for it. Bidder number 2 says, "HOH! I must have it!" and bids $3.51, 
unaware that bidder A has the high bid. ePay promptly comes back and 
says bidder 2 has been outbid, that he should no be prepared to bid 
$4.01 for the pleasure of listening to Ms. Craig do her thang. Being 
expansive, he bids $5.02. eBay jack's the price up to $5.52. At this 
point bidder 2 says, "Hah! Just what is this fershlugginer bidder A up 
to?" and bids $50.00. eBay calmly says, No deal," and tells him to bid 
more than $50.50. So, we're nowe up to 4 bids and there are only two 
bidders.
You can see where this is going, no? Yes! Bidder A takes it for $200.01 
because bidder B, disgusted and depressed, has just drawn and quartered 
himself. Quite a trick, that.
So it could just be two people.

I didn't think this set was all that rare.  It keeps making me think I should start trying to sell my duplicates on e-bay rather than trucking them off to some antique store, hoping they'll take them without charging me.
