Liz there might not be a reason for being suspicious about the price being
bid up (or there might). One of the items I sold was the travel pillow that
I'd made. It went for what I consider to be a ridiculously high price and I
think it might have been popular because I'd included a small box for tools
and threads and a removable pin cushion in it. A couple that have sold since
haven't got anywhere near what I got for mine.
Someone contacted me when it had got quite high and said she lived within 25
miles. She wanted to bid, but had a limit and asked if she could collect it
personally if she won so she could used what would have been the amount for
postage in her bid. I agreed. About an hour before the end she made her bid,
but someone else had already put in a higher bid and she didn't get it.
I am the type of bidder who isn't liked - I snipe. Obviously I want to get
the item as cheaply as possible, so I try not to give anyone else an
opportunity to outbid me. Even then I have a maximum and someone else might
already have already put a bid in higher than I'm prepared to pay.
