What would u do? (Bidding strategies)

[x2drich2000]

I would do c just in the off chance the wealthy collector doesn't see it or perhaps already has a raw copy no one knows about or ???. There is also the chance the next copy will be nicer and command an even higher price. Also, given the example, I think it would be unlikely that you are the only 2 interested, so your dropping out may not have much influence in the final price. If it was a more obscure issue, I might change to A.

I would go for A.

Make a qualifying bid so that you can jump back in, then wait and see how the bidding is going. Unless you really think you have a chance, don't drive up the price.

I usually spend my time trying to think about the timing of my max bid.

We all feel that dilemma. Should I make my max bid just before regular bidding ends or take my chances in the extended bidding session?

C. However, I would bid $1 higher than the current bid just to be "in" even though I will probably get beat. I will check later on, maybe 24 hours before the bidding ends and see how far up it has gone. If there was little movement, I will place my max bid. If the bidding has gone higher than what I intended for a max bid, I move on.
