I give up. Another upstart outbid me, and, after 3 tries to outbid him, as usual, found he's got more money than grey matter.
I officially quit.

Bill,

The 7JP4 is worth more than the present bid ($66.55). I usually start bidding early in an auction but NEVER put my high bid. If I am interested in an item, I will usually bid at about the first bid price. Then I watch and will not bid until the last 5 seconds of the auction. If I win, I usually get it for a lot less. If I don't win, it was not to be. I never peck away at an auction...

Yep, this one's all about the tube, though it has a nice chassis too.

I could not agree more. If I didn't have 5 VT-71s, I would be into the bidding!

Yep- We may look back someday & think $100 7JP4s were "Cheap".

First, I didn't peck at it. I was outbid, and, everytime I tried to outbid him, he outbid me.
Period.
I agree on tube, but, frankly, I think this guy would pay anything to get it.
That's why I quit.
Look at his no. I think he is well off, and, willing to spend whatever it takes.
If 200.00, he'll spend it.

You know Ebay does proxy bidding, right? The guy probably wasn't even there bidding against you, in fact looking at the bidding history your last 2 bids happened nearly 30 minutes after the winning bid was posted. You hadn't even pushed his max yet, but none of us will know if that max was $2 higher than your last bid or $200. So it goes with online auctions, raise your max if you really want something.

Exactly!
