If I really want the item(s) in question, no. I generally mute my phone, get some instrumental music playing, and go after the item(s) in isolation.

If the items are not on my want list, I have no problem discussing the auction with someone else.

Case in point - there's a non-sport auction ending next weekend. I have a friend who collects Spider-Man. I don't. I've made him aware of the auction and encouraged him to register. I have bids in the auction, just not on any of those items.

If I thought he and I would wind up bidding on the same things, I likely would not have brought it up.
