I have never seen this before. There is still over a day left on the item. It's a good case why one should not bid early on an item. http://offer.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=290047644994 Whats the record for a bidder placing bids anyway? Check out what he's bought.

It looks to me like Davecaplan kept placing individual bids to a certain point and then placed a much higher bid. The second person then placed individual bids, which kept raising caplans bid. That is what makes it look like each person is just raising the bid $1 or $5 dollars at a time.

I thought that might be a possibility but now I am the second bidder and Mr. Caplan is at it again. Interesting way to bid.

The bottom line is that the the guy is nibbling on the bids. I figure if you really want the card you should probably wait until the end and then throw out your best bid which should pretty much take out caplan.

Wonder if he has some sort of automated bidding program or is he sitting at his computer all day?

I think if you look very closely (a 3x will do ) at the player pictured in the 1947 Sports Exchange series of " miniatures" with the "Ted Williams" caption , you will see that it's an error card----it's actually a photo of Bobby Doerr swinging----I believe this particular card hasn't been officially recognized as an "error card" ; maybe I'm wrong there ; does anyone know if there are other 1946 -1949 Sports Exchange cards that actually portray Ted?---Thanks.

...and I'll say it again -- if you place a bid on an ebay auction more than 20 seconds prior to the close of that auction you must really enjoy spending more money on things than you have to.

Why would you do this? What internal logic inside of people would make them bid on a timed auction at any time prior to 20 seconds before the close of that auction? Do you think it scares other bidders away? What purpose is served -- other than helping the seller?

Not using a snipe service, I will put in a bid on cards I would like to have and if I win it for that, great. If it's something I really want I will do the last second bid.
