Len,
I think that I did it once on a rare Pentax lens. The Buy-it-Now price was
expensive, but one of the offshore buyers or somebody with deep pockets was
bound to snap it up. I thought it was a good idea to bid and put the lens
into play. It gave the rest the pdml a chance to see and bid on it. As a
result, it went for $5 over the Buy-it-Now price, but everybody had a shot at
it.
I've benefited from a couple of bargains thru Buy-it-Now. I suppose the new
method lets you snap up those bargains a little longer if they use a reserve
price.
Regards, Bob S.
