B/S/T Question - OT

I am watching this over there, I see at least one person bumping a thread more than once every few days. I will try to rein it in some. It's not fair to everyone else when someone acts that way.

I have noticed one great thing. Since this thread started there have been more members posting cards for auction. There has been a very good selection of stuff to bid on, even some T206s.

Rather than just continually bumping a B/S/T item, is there a written or unwritten rule if someone continually keeps posting price reductions?

Particularly when they start out 25% too high, lol.
All kidding aside, deal with Fred frequently,on auctions, could not ask for better service and communication.

Touche'

But that is a somewhat viable selling technique. The seller will start something off at a relatively high price, and then each day (or other designated time period) thereafter, they keep dropping the sales price by some fixed amount or increment until someone finally buys it. The trick is that it gets a buyer possibly paying more than expected because they don't want to wait too long to get a lower price, only to have another person step in and buy it out from under them. I think the term they use for that technique is a "reverse auction".
