john i just replied to the list so i won't reiterate here...
regarding this: snipped: "Now, as for the notion that this exposes an auction and thus others may out bid you, what about extending this - if I find one of Richard's auctions on my own and then the next thing I know he's posting his auction on CR ? Hey ! I don't need others being told ! So, where do we draw the line ? >>>"
i normally out my own auctions in 'real time', so it's not possible for you to view them before i send the link to the list; it's done simultaneously as i list them on ebay. e-RICHIE Richard Sachs Cycles No.9, North Main Street Chester, CT 06412 USA http://www.richardsachs.com Tel. 860.526.2059 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And yes I'll jump in and agree as well. I appreciate seeing these auction notices too. I rarely bid as I find it easier to buy when someone just posts "FOR SALE"s but I do enjoy seeing what I've missed in my EBay browsing. And if I am going to bid I will even think twice about it if I see a fellow CR member bidding (assuming I can tell). In one case Jan Heine and I emailed over some Maxi-Car hubs to see if either was going to bid (I passed - too rich for my blood and I knew Jan could use them more, although I think he passed as yet another CR member was bidding). In any case I enjoy seeing the ads.
Now, as for the notion that this exposes an auction and thus others may out bid you, what about extending this - if I find one of Richard's auctions on my own and then the next thing I know he's posting his auction on CR ? Hey ! I don't need others being told ! So, where do we draw the line ?
