I agree. Putting my best foot forward on several items means that I could get "run up" on each. Taken on an individual basis not so bad, but on an aggregate basis potentially financially imprudent. I have an order of priority on certain items that involves both a qualitative and quantitative analysis, much of which is dependent on relative pricing. That means that I have to stay involved over the entire auction in some instances. My wife already thinks I am nuts, but if I did what you is suggested, she would go ballistic. And I wouldn't blame her.
