Bill, I'm afraid I don't understand the technique you describe here. Do you retract your bid or something?

That ended up costing me about an extra $10 before the bidding was over - but it was for something that was worth it to me. That will usually work - but someone could fool you by doing the same thing and cost you a lot of money. Do it carefully.
