[GreenKeys] Re: eBay...

[Don Robert House]

Larry,
Just espousing my own feelings.  I like to share and help people.   
Money is the root of all evil.
There are no free lunches and no fair prices.

My opinions.  I of course am a fool.  My advice is worth exactly what  
you are paying for it.  NOTHING...

Don,

By your reasoning, the first greenie to put a bid in therefore, locks  
everyone out!!  Thence, that person fails to win and others who would  
have bid higher don't get the object....that's not a good idea at all.

Someone who has all day to cruise the eBay therefore locks out the guy  
who gets home from work to find a greenie "locked" him out by being  
the first to bid!!!  No good.

Folks should bid regardless of who else is in there.  Fair pricing is  
the end result for the seller and the buyer.
