		Re: Proxy ratcheting: How do auction systems work?
(...) No. Not required. The auction system doesn't have to be fair to be working "correctly". But the RULES can be broken. And I'm with you, the rules in eBay that allow a one penny overbid to take a solid wide range proxy bid away are indeed (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

		Re: cad.dat posts
(...) Why do you have to rebrowse for the dat file? does the document expire that fast? I would think that a quick back or two would bring you back to where you were. (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general)

		Re: Proxy ratcheting: How do auction systems work?
(...) Well, I can appreciate the technical elegance but I'm not sure I think this is a good thing or not. Basically you're saying that as a bidder, you can retract the "secret" part of your bid, as long as it hasn't been revealed yet. In your (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

		Re: SW1 Title was: Re: First pics of boxes of all Ep 1 SW sets...
(...) Yes, and in fact, I remember the uproar that ensued when a re-release came out with Episode IV/ANH on it (1). That little bit of info was released by Lucas without any PR fanfare at all, it just kind of plopped out as a reward to the movie (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

		Re: 2532 Passenger Jet: Your worst fears realized...
My question would be whether it uses thinwalls. If the plane body is mostly thinwalls and soforth, it may be worth it at 19.95, but if it's all solid white bricks, may not be. Thanks, Gene, for posting the info. (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Proxy ratcheting: How do auction systems work?
(...) Really? Consider this scenario that could happen at SeriousCollector You have an item won, sitting at 400, and your max proxy is 500. Someone outbids you with a hard bid of 500.01 (lucky guess on their part) which gets rounded to 500.50 under (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

		Re: What's up with Pause?
(...) Agreed. Even the fact that someone has bought the set itself is not sufficient, if it was purchased prior to the official release date. However, there's no need to actually rescan the box, is there? James Mathis, for example, could easily (...) (25 years ago, 21-Apr-99, to lugnet.starwars)

		Re: Track slope...

		Re: 2532 Passenger Jet: Your worst fears realized...
(...) The smaller airplane windows come with a separate pane, I think. However, there is an older thinwall with an embedded (molded in, or very tightly glued) trans lt blue window. This is a thinwall that is 1x4x3 rathdr than the 1x4x2 dual (...) (25 years ago, 22-Apr-99, to lugnet.general)

		Re: GMLTC to show at NMRA Nat'l Convention
This is a major coup, as this will be a well attended convention. WTG to the GMLTC for setting this up. Lots of planning to do to pull this off.

		Re: Proxy ratcheting: How do auction systems work?
(...) I like market.theory better than technology for two reasons 1) as Todd said, cut back on people thinking they can buy CD players there... 2) Theory encompasses technology. 3) the Usenet precendent. OK, 3 reasons. That said, I don't think (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction, lugnet.admin.general)

		Re: Proxy ratcheting: How do auction systems work?

If you do anyway, and have to welsh because you didn't think things through, you deserve a black mark. Else (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)

I'd be comfortable at this point stating that there is a 1 in 3 chance, which is a lot more than I would have said 4 weeks ago. 1 - which reminds me of a (...)

		Re: Methodology: Reserve, Controlled Reserve, or No Reserve?
I understand why sellers like reserves, but as a buyer (1) I'd prefer that they were banned, limited, or cost the seller a lot of money to do. If the listing fee is 50 cents, charge 20% of the reserve whether the item sells or not. Plus 5 bucks to (...) (25 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.auction)
