I never bid on anything for two reasons: First, there is always the possibility of someone outbidding you-fun for the seller, not fun for you; Second, many auction items begin where I think the normal resale price should be. Some slick sellers are hoping to snag a newbie at an inflated price out of ignorance. Very unethical!
I once went to see a Sony CD player at a sellers home and we agreed on a price and shook hands with an agreement to meet the next day with my cash in hand. I called the next day to confirm our appointment and found that he had sold it to someone else. I can't reveal the right word for that except that it starts with "B" and ends with "T".
