Internet Auction Bidding War
By Don Teach

It has come to my attention that there just may be some individuals
who just like to spend money on eBay.  Let us look at last weeks
offering of a Coinola brochure or poster.  It is a nice reproduction
poster and the eBay ad says that it is a "Modern reprint."  Checking
the Player-Care site for technical material I find the identical
poster for $7.00.

There were three other reprints with the Coinola poster but I know
the individual that won the bid very well and he was only interested
in the Coinola poster.  That man bid $180.50 for a $7.00 poster.

I called him to see what he was drinking that evening since I had
several emails and phone calls from people wanting to know what was
in that ad that they and I had missed.  I am just lucky I did not get
wrapped up in that bidding war, Thank you.
