I guess that's my problem....I don't bid on there for sport
or entertainment <g> I don't agree with those who enjoy the bidding
frenzies either, which is why I do what I can to circumvent them. I
don't complain when I've lost something to someone else and I know
what I'm after long before I place the bid. For me, it's just a
means to an end and I know my limits.
