It makes more sense to start the bidding at the minimum price you'd accept for the item, and let the bidders fight from there.

A different auction site found the solution to this; the auction had an end time, but if a bid was placed in less than 10 minutes prior to the end, the auction would extend another 10 minutes, and so on until no new bids were placed for 10 minutes. It would be interesting to see what would happen if eBay tried it.

I like this idea...what site is this?

That is so typical of the hoarder masquerading as a dealer. I've met those before. Guess it's the one in Robert Street? I just had a look on street view.

On another note. There is a hoarder who runs an antique shop in a town near me called Morpeth (the town that is, IDK the name of the shop).

Anyway, I went in there one day having a poke and found some old scuttles. They seemed in fair condition, so I made a low offer on all 3 expecting to her to haggle up and we would meet in the middle somewhere decent. Anyway, she took them all away and told me that they were no longer for sale and that I wasn't welcome.

I'll try it next time, maybe she'll let me buy them :rofl:
