[Coco] [Color Computer] My Ebay auctions

[Steve Ostrom]

Glen, you and I have bid on many of the same items, but you do it 
fairly.  Putting a high bid on an item is the way eBay was meant to be - 
sniping is not.  Those who ask you to bow out of an auction are way out 
of line.

I have a friend in England who is trying to get a complete collection of 
Dragon software, and he's close.  I have the same goal, but mine is not 
attainable because I started about two years ago.  So when I see that he 
has placed a bid on one of the items that he does not have for his 
collection, I don't bid.  He would never ask me to bow out of the bidding.
