I have seen from time to time some misunderstandings between collectors who find themselves bidding against eash other for auctions on E-bay and YJ. This can lead to so hurt feelings.
I think a lot of time this happens due to collectors not knowing or reconizing that the person bidding's Id.
I wonder if we had a bid id list might help this.
Even with a list there may still be the last second sniping that one would not have time to realize they outbid a friend but when known Id places an early bid it may give time for communication (I know your bidding on this but this is a major wishlist for me) that can gage interest and prevent misunderstandings.
What do the rest of you think?

Yes, any such list would be have to be a log in access only to Beta Members.Not Sir Phobos wrote:It would have to be a private list available only to beta members. My fear is that outsiders would use the list to do mean things.
Thanks NSP

Your fear is that outsiders would use the list to do mean things?
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Try saying that with more context.

Thou you have really good intentions about it JWR, a list would create even more trouble than it wold be worth in the end. 
Id rather not have a list at all.
It would lead to arguments and unnecessary bickering when there are more than 3 ppl wanting the same cel and the other 2 feeling they cant bid because someone already is on it. 
Its already happened before on this forum.
No thanks!

As always I will abide with majority rule which at this time would be No to a bid list.
I my self would like to at least attempt not to outbid a friend on a cel they really want and risk that friendship over a piece of painted plastic.
A while back I saw an auction on YJ for a cel that caught my interest but when I saw that Goldknight was the high bid I held back.
By looking at my gallery one can tell I collect some high end cels and being older I have amassed a deep war chest so if I really find something I can't live without I can normally out last most in a bidding war. I would like to know if I was going againt someone I know , talk and work out a deal like we both like 2 or 3 I go for one and not the other.

Why do you have to do it?
