Standing ovation for wptw!
I couldn't agree more. Just by reading several 'ebay pin' threads in multiple forums and the thread in the ADPi forum as well, it seems like members are bidding several times a day or throughout the course of the auction.
Just because say a collector or non-memeber is the highest bidder at the moment, it won't help if you outbid them if the auction still has 5 days to go (unless of course that is your absolute max you will pay). Because the collector or nonmember or member whoever could go online and bid again.
LIke someone else mentioned sniping is a wonderful thing
