So people would sooner pay a lot more than wait 5 minutes? Not me.

The moderators almost never interfere (never) but would stop anyone from doing something completely disingenuous on the board. It would get old until I or another moderator saw, or were alerted, to that scenario. This isn't feebay. I think it would be handled quickly. I might add that we get alerted to almost everything. That is one of the great things about this board. Our members are very self policing. Thanks again to all of our members for helping to keep this as safe of a place as anywhere. And it is always, always Caveat Emptor, Buyer Beware on our board.

I have tried to remember to include bidding increments when posting to B/S/T as that is what I am most comfortable with and what I believe is the fair thing to do. However, I have accepted bids past the assigned increment as I see that as the bidder's choice (to potentially throw some money away because max bid is not included).

I believe all bidders should have the choice to overbid within any constrains the seller sets forth. There is usually an equal number of bidders with buyers' regret as there are runner-ups. Such is the nature of the beast.

Two points that separate us at Net54 are that you can rant and be heard and we are more than just OP names, we are a good bunch of guys with high standards...at least, that has been my experience so far.

Happy Holidays!
