Helping each other out

You're only going to get lucky rarely in the current market and asking others to not bid because you're throwing out low bids early on everything of interest is not really fair.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I respect it.

This has always been a touchy subject amongst friends and family. The way I handle it isn’t the correct way but my way. I’ll place a small wager on something I see I need. If a friend let’s me know that they want it I’ll back off an item and he/she needs to do the same for me once before I’m asked to back off again. I’m not a person who doesn’t do last second wagers. I have a set figure in mind on every card I need and willing to let any friend know what that is. If they are willing to go higher, then I won’t continue to place bids. I don’t feel that a card will come up again if I let it go. To me it will be a hole in my collection that I might not fill. The lack of funds stops me too often to let a card/need go by that I can afford so friends can get it for themselves on an ongoing bases. The good thing in my Gonzalez collection is I only collect one of each and now have published most of my collection on this site so you all will know if I’ll be wagering on a card or not!
