As the old ebay wisdom goes:  ' If it doesn't apply to you, then it doesn't concern you '

Right ?

And that for some reason has brought Shakespeare to mind with his ' Protesteth too  much'

As to hitting the button already  --- nope.  Don't think so.  Of the few items I bother to put on Watch these days ---- seems a mysterious someone is bidding it up desperately.  Now who could that be ?  Surely not the seller's sock-puppet ?   But then, could it be a genuine, experienced ebayer with several hundred transactions to their name?  Someone so experienced wouldn't keep topping up the bid several days in a row -- would they ?  I mean, why wouldn't they wait until close to end-time ?  Same would apply to that dogged and very experienced supposed 'opposition' bidder who keeps responding with bids of their own -- again for days in a row

So I'm just sitting back watching them play the game.  Hope the seller wins her own item back from herself.  Think of all the money she'll save in postage  😄
