[Amps] [R-390] R-389 Sold For $3550.00 on eBay

[David C. Hallam]

Tracy,

Your max bid is also hidden in proxy bidding.  A snipe bid that does not
exceed your bid maximum will not win the auction and would have increased
the winning bid price no matter when it was placed.

Again I say, value is set in the market place, not by what any individual
thinks an item is worth.  Current real estate prices here in costal Florida
are a prime example of that.

David,
 I would like to respectfully disagree with you on one point.

"The people selling bid snipers promote their product saying that you can
win an auction for a lower bid price by placing a last second bid which is
not true.  When the final bids were placed has no affect on the winning
price."

You are less likely to drive up the final price if no one knows you are
bidding. If you hide a 50 dollar bid with a sniper versus a proxy then
nobody can bid up to your max. I think that it does give you an edge.

Tracy
