I was thinking, "put in a high bid and no one else will bid..."

But I don't want them, so that would be a sleazy thing to do. I detest "back-out" bidders.

Then I got to thinking, a high bid might get some (not too bright) people thinking they are actually worth something, and jumping in there with their money...


Don't lose your head to save a minute,
You need your head, your brains are in it.
