In such a >closed environment of collectors bidding via email, the seller always gets the >highest bid -- at eBay he only gets the second bid plus increment. Particularly >for very rare computers this can make a considerable difference. On the other >hand 1) the number of bidders is not large and 2) psychological play like often >seen at eBay is not possible which is certainly good for inexperienced bidders. yes this is all 100% correct however there is still some psychological play but it comes from the opposite side in Ebay all of the psychology is from one bidder against the next in Private bidding the seller has all of the play he can leave little hints or remarks that perhaps make you think you will lose if you dont bid higher :)) but again..trust is very important Best Steve
