<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 334660, member: 4626&quot;]You can up your bid at any time from the beginning of the auction to the end of an auction if you decide you&#039;re willing to pay more.&nbsp; What I like about the eBay system is it will proxy bid up to your stated maximum automatically, somethhing you can&#039;t do in a live auction.&nbsp; If someone is willing to pay more than I am, let them have it.&nbsp; I&#039;m pretty firm about how much I want to pay and just bid that.</p><p><br /></p><p>You don&#039;t like the uncertaintly of sniping or being sniped, only buy items that have a &quot;buy it now&quot; option.&nbsp; I go that way often if the buy it now price is reasonable and am not in the mood to compete.&nbsp; To me the whole point of an auction is to try to get it for a little bit less than otherwise possible, thus someone outbidding me because they were willing to pay more than I doesn&#039;t bother me in the least.</p><p><br /></p><p>You don&#039;t like the auction system, then just stick to live auctions or go to coin stores where they have a posted price and you just take it or leave it.&nbsp; Nobody&#039;s pointing a gun at your head and forcing you to use eBay... don&#039;t like it, just go elsewhere... when I have a problem with the way a business conducts itself, I don&#039;t try to make them change, I just vote with my wallet and go elsewhere.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
