[GreenKeys] eBay

[Teletypeparts]

This is all good info, but man, have we beat this subject to death.  Of course I guess I could just not open the emails.  

The one way to be sure of getting what you want is the "Buy It Now" option.  Actually, when I sell,  I usually price my buy it now at what I think is a fair price at the high end of the scale.  

Here I go commenting after griping about the commenting.  All in fun, of course.

Ken, you would be right if we were all given only one bid (like a silent
uction, item goes to the highest bidder). But in an auction where everyone
an bid as often as they like then the "highest bid" is a matter of time as
t increases unecessarily.  I would say that if ebay changed their rules
this is a hypothetical argument) that bidding starts and then ends 1 minute
ater, you would be right. We would all have only one opportunity to put our
ighest bid in and that would be that.  But the items would sell for much
ess. In the current way to bid (6 days or so) people see they have been
utbid and bid higher, over and over again.

It does if you bid high enough.
Aren't we all forgetting that it's the HIGHEST bid that wins, no matter what
ime it was placed?
