just a little devils advocacy here....

if two sisters can come to an agreement about bidding, thats fabulous. but what happens if they cant? maybe they should just bid, after all, isnt that was ebay is for? not to be a total b****, but ebay wasnt really made for people to just buy things, it was made to be an auction. while its wrong to up bid just to raise a price, the point of an auction is so alot of people can have a chance at getting an item.

while everyone on our end is arguing, there will be a collector that will swoop in, and we arent going to know what hit us because we were bickering.

side note ~ i TOTALLY support all this VV and pin saving stuff, and 1 day i want to help (when im rich and famous and eating caviar and drinking champange) but if 2 sisters REALLY want something, maybe they need to just hash it out on ebay like the site was meant for

1 more note ~ consider this situation......2 sisters, we will call them, i dunno, octavia and eugenia....right now the pin is at, $100. octavia has $200 she can spend and eugenia has $500 maybe eugenia has said "octavia, im not going to bid, i know you really want this pin". with 27 seconds left the auction goes to $250. octavia cant afford to win the pin, but if eugenia was still watching the auction, she could still afford to get it and it wouldnt have gone to a collector.
