So it comes up asking if I want to 'up' my bid and gives me 3 choices. I said what the heck and hit the button that put it at the highest of the three choices, making my bid now at about X + 118% of the 5 group. It still left me not the 'high' bidder with the person having the high bid now at about X + 120-125% (I am simply estimating for illustrative purposes). At this point, I realized that for what I wanted now, it might be more opportunistic to simply stop bidding on this one and go back and do a buy it now. Which I did. I will see later what the group of 10 goes for, since there were at least 3 bidders interested in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
