[Accrs] Brass Estate Sale answer

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Ted

I found an item that was interesting.   It appears all the opening bids 
are $10 for each item.    So, on eBay, I entered a bid of $10.   I was 
asked to register for the auction.   Very simple with only a couple of 
questions.   Once I did that, I could go and bid on any of the items.

Now, here is where it gets interesting.   My bid doesn't show yet.   I 
think it will when the item comes up for auction by whoever is running 
the auction.   The item may only be available for a few minutes as 
occurs with an auction house.    That would mean that I would have to 
enter my maximum bid now and hope no one else bids higher as I am not 
going to sit around and wait for it to come up.   I think they will send 
an e-mail telling you it is coming up, but I am not sure.

Never seen one of these auctions, so I don't know how to know when your 
item comes up for auction, at which time you could continually enter 
bids, as the bids on the item goes up.  Something new for eBay and those 
of us that bid on items.
