lennib. good to see you back here. I don’t think it was a typo. Typically what you put in just has to be higher than the second highest bidder. At least that’s the way eBay has always worked for me. So at least two people put in a bid of at least $1050, right?

It’s great to have your column back. As an occasional seller of jazz on EBay, I haven’t had any great sales lately and i felt that the market for older, used LPs was down – given the recent surge in audiophile re-releases. However as an eBay buyer, i have had great luck – at least in buying classical LPs where i was recently the only bidder on 3 LPs that I’ve been looking for.

Given is very reliable. They have a free subscription under which the snipe is sent from one server. A paying subscription offers a backup snipe from another server, should the main server have failed. The subscription was $ 6 annually for many years. But recently they may have gone up.

Gixen is very reliable software, and yes, the JRC auctions have been pretty wild. I’m sure they aren’t the only ones, but those are the auctions I keep coming back to.
