hi Mark

>I can only droolover the item.

thats ok
i can only drool as well
:))


   Every 2 or 3 minutes, the same bidder would
>raise their bid against their own bid by several hundred Euro!  What's with
>that?  I see no other bids during that time.  What gives?

its the way Ebay bidding works
if i place a maximum bid of say $1000,and the current leading bidder is $350
then my bid will appear as $360
i will now be the current leader
other's  can then bid..say 400..410 and i will still appear as the leader with
say $420 because i have bid up to a maximum of $1000
their bids will show up as less then mine and it will appear as if they are
bidding against themselves
bidders will do this "chip away"bidding to see how high the current leader is
willing to go..


hope that was a clear explanation
Best
Steve
