[GreenKeys] Bidding Mystery

[Howard Weeks]

On occasion, I like to bid against some bidder just to see how far I 
can run him up without getting stuck with the final bid.  I have had 
some people pay some really stupid prices for stuff just to outbid 
me.  

The challenge to me is know when to quit bidding.  I haven't gotten 
stuck with one yet but probably will eventually.

Drives the wife wacky when she knows that I am doing that!

And I have never known any of the sellers!
