Re: [AMC-List] Being outbid on ebay

["MIKE DIAN HATHAWAY" <mhathdway@xxxxxxx>]

All-So... What I'm hearing is to 'stack' the maxi way up there. For example. 
If I want that same AMX overlay that Eddie wants, and I don't know what his 
max is, but I'm wanting only to pay, say, $25. So, I should put a max of, 
maybe, $10,000 on it. That would assure me of getting it for my price, 
unless Eddie wants it so badly that he's willing to pay $10,001? My $25 max 
will stay in place until someone goes higher than $10,000, which I won't 
ever have to pay, because no one would be dunb enough to pay $10,000 for it. 
Or why not $100,000 or a million? Seems like a vicious circle, and one that 
is bound to backfire on you. And it seems an effective way to stop every 
auction at one low price.-Mike
