Usually I don't bid until the last 5 seconds using my snipe program. Am I to never bid on a card when one of you places a bid early on? Today I just bid on a few cards that I suspected you were not going to win going on you past recent max bids, e.g. the 93 refractor. You must agree that you generally place very low bids hoping to catch a break on price. In these instances, you generally lose most of the auctions you bid on which on the end makes it unfair to ask others to not bid when you do when you don't place realistic bids on the whole. If you were bidding more on cards raising your chance to win then I could understand an agreement. You bid $50 on the 93 refractor and there is no way you are going to win that card for $50. Do you think it is fair to not ask anyone else on here to bid when you know someone outside of here is going to bid more? I so agree that an agreement can work out but it only goes so far when the collectors who want nothing to do with the forum or our group continue to bid as well.
I think there would be very few cards for me to bid on using the method that I prefer to bid with. I also have noticed that you and Rob seem to scan ebay all the time catching cards before others as it is rare that I find desireable cards without a bid on it already.
Doesn't really matter right now anyway as I think the market for Juan cards is too high so I am going to back off until it cools down to more realistic levels or Rob grows tired of trying to own every card on the market.
