Yah, I always prefer bidding by email, but haven't had much chance to do
it lately!

eBay shows you everything you have bid on, and where its at at present.
And there are some good programmers who sell programs that watch auctions
for you (without bidding prematurely or typing passwords and crap) that even
bid when you tell them to. Having something like that is pretty hard to
beat.

I agree, thats what I like best about email/RTL auctions is that you just
type the lot(s) and the bid amount (on most, anyway) and send it. Its far
better than retyping your password over and over again and flipping through
webpages to do so.

Yeah, they suck, then they change them to suck even more.
