That’s one reason I used to like yahoo auctions. It wasn’t very popular. I’d buy stuff on yahoo and sell it on eBay instantly for a markup :-DD

Maybe, then if it always happens your bidding maximum might be set to low. Next time bid what you would normally and then add on a tiny bit extra as a contingency plan if you need it. You might find you start winning. If you don't win then have knowledge that you cost the other bidder I bit more money than if you hadn't increased your maximum bid.

I see. Coming in second was the issue. Better to be first or way behind the pack. Fair enough.
