It's been 15 years since Jack's lithographs went up for auction on Ebay. In the earliest days, bidding was frantic! Five seconds to go, and someone would place a bid that was out of the atmosphere.
On one occasion, that proved to be to my benefit. I was selling one of Jack's lithographs when two bidders got into a heated battle for it. The lithograph that I had purchased for a few hundred dollars brought me $1300! Can you believe it!?!
I had a bidding experience again tonight. No. I wasn't bidding on Jack's art, but I might as well have been. The starting bid was $130. The item went for $220. No, I did not win.
I think I'll stick to "Buy It Now" items from now on.
Wow, that was a tidy profit. I too bid on a canvas painting done by Jack back when the auction was on e-bay. I did get it too! I am now trying to sell it but have no idea how to go about it as I have never sold anything on e-bay. Perhaps one of your readers would be interested. I am open to suggestions!
And I remember my battle for "What Aloha Means"which I finally won. Nerve-wracking like you so suitably called it, Honu, with 3 seconds or the like to go.
And yes - today I would go for the "B.I.N." option, too.

I remember the $1300 battle, H50.

Sniping - it's really nerve-wracking. I'm sure that some people find it exciting, but I'm with you - I prefer the "Buy it Now" option every time!
