I am sure there are others. That's not to say a private deal isn't a good idea - just that there are some possible serious bidders who might otherwise miss out.

(hope Amanda don't read this ) I don't really agree with this policy. If you want an item, bid as much as you're prepared to pay. Whether you do this at the start or at the end of an auction is entirely up to you.

If it's something I definitely want, but can't afford, I'll bid up to my max. If it's only a "nice to have", I usually back off if I meet significant resistance, and particularly if I recognize Acaeum bidders.

But, be honest, isn't a lot of the reason for putting on ebay that it will be much more interesting for you guys (who can't afford to get involved) to watch!!! I definitely understand the trust/safety aspect though..... Decisions.... decisions..... But a decision will be made soon (promise) Cheers all.... Jon

If he eBays it and some no-namer comes in from left field, wins it by $5, and makes it disappear off the face of the earth, I will laugh. I am getting the distinct impression that some people here just want to see the frigging ST1 circus on eBay.
