(...) Frank explained the mechanics, as for the motivation I speculate he was trying to outbid the current high bidder but by just a little. That's a sign of indecisiveness, inexperience, or possibly bid shielding. Hope that helps. FUT market.theory (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.market.theory)
 
  Re: Why not a cypress tree in the Legends re-release of 6390?
 
(...) My guess: because of all the complains about the "bent" cypresses? ;-) (...) This one I sort of disagree: if they are to use the method from 6542, it may prove to be more functional. OTOH, I could use the older system just as good as a source (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)

(...) Definitely exists (I have two 664 TV Camera sets bought for the black hat). There is at least one other stiffy set with a black cowboy hat (372 Texas Rangers, which also has red ones).

(...) Got it! (...) That would really be useful. I mean, just to satisfy my curiosity... :-^ (...) Most convenient, the whole system. Does it work as intended, never creating any sort of issues? Thanks, Frank! Pedro (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
 
  Re: $2,137.00
 
(...) If you look carefully, you will see that the higher bids are older, and thus were "proxy" bids (where you bid what you really think you want to pay for the item, then the system submits the lowest possible bid for you, and then automatically (...)

  Re: $2,137.00
 
(...) Oh... I see. So this is done automatically. It's a bit of a shame that the "competing" bidders in such bids are not displayed - I'd sure love to know the details of this "fight"... ;-) Thanks, John! Pedro (22 years ago, 12-Apr-02, to lugnet.lego.direct)
