Bob- I know, there is no foolproof answer, but look at it this way- if the card is pulled before you bid, your chance of winning it is zero. In another scenario even if someone tracks your bidding pattern, your chances are at least somewhat north of zero. I guess you need to evaluate- or just do what I did, and tell the seller not to pull the lot, as you anticipate spirited bidding in the end. That's not perfect either, but every plan has some downside to it. Face it, ebay is the wild west in more ways than one. It's every man for himself.
