[Groop] List of eBay names

[Sean]

sounds like an opportunity to put some choice items on eBay and then get a 
friend to try and outbid you to inflate the price.....
What items are you looking for?

I do not want this to sound like a threat or warning, but on a
personal level I will let everyone know... if you end up seeing my eBay
name as a bidder on an auction, well you better believe I am going to
bid VERY high. I can promise you I am not just saying that to intimidate
people either. There are only really about one or two dozen specific
items I do not yet have in my Groo want-list for me to finish what I
consider my complete collection.
Basically what that means is, if people see my eBay name bidding
on an auction and STILL want to compete against a fellow Groopie, then
you should be prepared to spend at least over $100, if not significantly
more depending on what the item is. Otherwise, if you are just shooting
blindly to see if you can sneak in and outbid me, then you are just
going to end up inflating my price. Naturally, I will end up not
appreciating that. In fact I would consider that outright rude. Would
you like it if I creeped up your bid-on auctions only to have my bids
end up increasing your ultimate price by $20-$50?
On the other hand though, you can all be comforted in the fact I
will never knowingly put in a bid on an auction if I recognize one of
your names as a bidder. If the auction is for something I REALLY want,
well I THINK I can personally live with that. :) I would much rather
keep a friend than deprive him/her from something they rightfully got
first dibs on. Although, I MIGHT want it bad enough to contact the
bidding-Groopie to see if we could work something out. I think that is
definitely fair, and I would hope my fellow Groopies would do the same
for me. I can also vouch for this honor-based system because in the past
I have worked things out regarding eBay items with a couple of Groopies.
