I don't mean to insult the bidder by asking this question, I'm just curious! I was looking at the auction sight and noticed a seller had a few items where you could bid at 10 cents or buy it now at 12 cents. A person had bid 10 cents on each item! Why would someone not spend the 12 cents which means if the items are desirable at all they are taking a major chance of not getting the items. If you want an item does 2 cents really matter that much? Just curious!! The logic escapes me!

re: Why, why, why!!!!

We have an old saying in Canada we stole from Lothian or Carnoustie or somewhere...

"A penny earned is a ha'penny that could be saved...but only if she-who-rules dinnae find oot".

Did I get that almost right Ian?

re: Why, why, why!!!!

I went to school in Midlothian.

I currently live a few miles from Carnoustie

But

I have never heard that saying before.

But it could be a Yorkshire saying.

We have a saying in Old Caledonia "Yorkshire folk are like Aberdonians but with the generosity streak removed"

The other way is to try to understand the point to set a BIN two cents higher than at the 10 cents. Michel
