[Leica] That expensive Nikon hood

Stephen: >>>this is a great example of two bidders with money running up
the auction price because they "had to have it" for their collections.
if they can afford it, great.

the luckiest person was the seller.<<<


Stephen,
I auctioned off a bunch of rare classical records a while back, and in
most of the auctions three people (from very different corners of the
country) were bidding actively against each other. The high "fetch" was
a single Mercuty Living Presence disk that went for $256. A dealer had
offered me $30 for it.

eBay is a sword that cuts both ways--it makes things accessible to you
as a buyer from all over, but it also increases the potential
competition from other buyers.
