Between sniping and private ID's, that no longer happens.
Then on the other hand, you would have guys who were friendly with each other, lay off an item if they saw one of their friends was bidding on it, so it worked both ways I guess.
The good ol' days of Ebay.  |
I agree. I miss 'em. There were lots of good reasons for showing bidder IDs but even though the number of good reasons far outweighed the one bad reason (others emailing winning bidders), once again the majority and intelligent decision loses.
