    Hi Raj,

    i think someone thought it was you who sent me the nasty bidder email, i
    dont think anyone was complaining about you letting people know that the
    drive was overpriced.

    Umm.... that wasn't me. I really don't find the "haxor" speech fun.
    And I am "rajsw" on eBay. My intent was to let people know that there
    drive should not go for that much money.

    Sorry if I offended anyone.

    Hey Raj.....

    I'll tell you another bidding strategy of mine.......

    If I want something badly enough, I place a bid early so the seller won't pull the item for lack of bids.......and also to see where the bidding might go. However, if someone throws in a jump bid in the last hour and he has a very low number of Ebay transactions (10 or less)......I stop bidding no matter how badly I want the item. I also email the seller and tell him the reason I refuse to bid any higher.

    This is in case the bidder is a shill.....he can swallow the item as far as I'm concerned. If he isn't, I consider he won fair and square..........

    TK

    Hey Tim,

    I have software that does my strategy. I don't have an eBay feedback
    rating of 339 and 513 purchases for nothing. :)
