I've had people tell me that they don't want to bid against a friend of theirs. And in the same message, they inquire to know if I had any others and how much I would accept for them.

Now, if your a cynical person, you might come to the conclusion that they are trying to buy the chip for the same amount that is currently being offered without having to "up the ante."

Let's face the facts, folks. Most of us that have been collecting for a while are friends--so I take that as a lame excuse. And I see nothing wrong with bidding against anyone--even your mother.

The only reason I don't usually bid against ANYONE else is because I don't want to pay any more then what is already being bid.
