Humans are intelligent?

Hello Wes,

I follow the "auction advice" the folks behind the Gun Blue Book print in the forwarding pages of their gun pricing guide :

I determine what my "maximum" price on an item is and submit that price (hidden of course...). I do this both for "bricks & motar" auctions as well as for on-line auctions.

Submitting this maximum price early or late does not matter, to me...

Then I discipline myself to sit quietly and wait for the auction to be held. The discipline part comes in as the bidding approaches my maximum and I contain myself from going beyond that...

Many times I am not even aware of the bidding process or when it closes...

Sometimes I win; sometimes I loose. If it is not my "karma" to have a thing, it was not meant for me...

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
