I was watching a couple of auctions on Ebay yesterday. One was for a DD razor and the other was for a polishing stone(Thuringer, sp?). I got out my list of Ebay names and noticed that a couple of members were bidding. I thought,...would it be ethical to bid against them? I don't know how I feel about this! What do they say?...."All's fair in love and war"...and perhaps bidding for razors and stones on Ebay???

As it turned out, one member was outbid and did not rebide at the end of the auction. The other was actually won by a member.

A few questions:

Would you resist bidding if a member was high bidder for something you wanted? - and would that decision be based upon a member you are familiar with, or not? (a popular member??)

Would it be okay to bid if that member was no longer high bidder, but was on the list of people who had bid previously. - meaning, they could be waiting for the last few moments of the auction to put in a last bid. - of course, you wouldn't know that.

How do you feel about bidding against other members? - and what is your criteria, if you do? - or if you don't... A lot of this could depend on what the item was, and how much you wanted it!
