Day 2, another bidder comes along and bids $20. You still have the high bid for $21. The other bidder sees that and tries again, this time putting in $40. Your bid is now $41. If, however, you wait 'til the last minute, the other bidder will bid $20 and that's it. You can come along at the last minute and snipe him for $21, saving you $20. Keep in mind, too, that not all categories get the inflated prices that the older computers get. I've got a box full of Donald Duck stuff (Rachel's birthday is 11/9) that I got at prices ranging from decent to outright theft. --------------------------------------------------------------------- O- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad roger(a)sinasohn.com that none but madmen know."
