Should I, or another moderator, bid in the Net54baseball.com auctions?
I just won a card, in one of our Net54 live auctions. I need it for my Obak 150 series subset. It got me to thinking ....Would someone not bid against me as I am the peasant/ forum owner or because they see a high bidder is a moderator? I would hope they would care less, but could it affect the final prices negatively? If other moderators, or I, don't bid might THAT keep the prices down? This might be a conundrum.

As the dude whose auction you just won, yes, by all means you should bid.

If it's a conundrum, why ask why?

Leon,
Why segregate yourself from the other members, we all know whos running the show!!! so you bidding would make no difference

should I bid
I see no problem with it at all. I feel its an auction and anyone be it moderator or member has a chance to bid on the item and let the final bid take it. Now if you tell me the forum owner can control the last bid well then I guess we might have a problem

should i...
I don't see a problem with you bidding. I do think some people might be reluctant to bid if they can't do so anonymously though.

Thanks....we will see what others say too. I would feel bad if someone didn't realize the best price they thought they could get and it was because others didn't bid against me. That would suck. Maybe I am dreaming and that would never happen but it just crossed my mind ....I think the card I won is about equal to the level I won it ast, maybe $20 more on a decent day. I do track them a little bit. I see the 150 series be about 2x-4x of regular 175 series....

Do you really think anyone on this board won't bid because they might be bidding against you?
Do you think that has happened in the past with Ebay, or other auction houses? As long as you're not "fooling" with the others posts and bids, I don't have any problem with it (assuming, of course, that you confine yourself to Lajoie and Cobb cards and stay away from NY Giants Schedule Postcards!)
