Josh K.Joe P - I think you've got it wrong here. Everyone now knows that you dont want to be macho. Frankly, from a buyer's perspective, I completely agree with you that bidding in the last seconds is much more advantageous. However, you seem to want to discount/disparage anyone who has an opinion or perspective different than your own. Larry is obviously a seller and has a different perspective than you. Doesnt make it wrong. In fact, when I sell cards that I no longer want, I too hope for numerous opening bids. I have also had enough of my auctions end for much lower than I had hoped/expected due to snipes that I have simply started to put high opening bids or reserves on my auctions. Without those, I would consider doing the same thing as other sellers are discussing - removing any auction w/o bids on the last day.
