Always do your best to try to make it a two way street, and although it can be frustrating, it usually works out in the long run for both parties. This is of utmost importance!

My collecting focus these days is rather narrow and there are is only a small handful of 'competitors' I see frequently bidding on the same stuff I do on ebay. Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose..about 50/50. Often I actually don't mind losing because it makes me feel good to see others interested in the same items I am. I try to imagine how they are displaying their items and if my collecting 'doppelgänger' is out there. Problem is I know them by their ebay 'encrypted' ** ID, but I don't know who they are.
I would like to contact them to discuss our common interest, but I don't think I have any means through ebay. Any suggestion on how I can find out who they are?
