Mac, You are most Welcome!
GT, the 'chat' room is one of two places. First is IRC (SE4), the other is Yahoo. Both are live. It is fun.
About ebay; I have developed a pretty good way to acquire item's I want. Some 25, at Last count. 1) Find the item you want. Check the bidding history. If there 'have not' been any bids, don't make one, just track the item. 2) Wait until about 15 mins before the auction is about to go off. Re-check the bidding history. Notice if there have been repeat increases. This well be a tell if someone has placed a 'maximum bid'. And ebay is placing bid's for that user. 3) Now decide how much you are willing to bid. In 'Word Pad' (or whatever text editor you like) type in that amount. Now split the difference between 'your' top bid and the current bid. Bid that amount. Load a second browser window. Go the bid page. You are going to use this one to update the page. At the end of bidding, this is done every 5-10 'seconds'. OK, you are ready to kick *** on all those wanta bee bidder's. Using this method I have only lost out on 8 items I wanted. 3 went past what I was willing to pay, 4 never made the minimum bid required
(this is what I think you have witnessed 'David') and one I lost to a bidder quicker than me. So, this system works, pretty good. Hope all this makes sense, and helps.
David,
