Bob Marquetteis you acquire a name recognition and "lurkers" tend to follow your bids and what you are bidding on. I think people like Seth (19th Century) have the right idea by picking names totally dissimilar and using them to bid on. Another tactic is that some guys will simply put in a snipe bid and never show their faces until the very end. I guess I should learn, I certainly have taken my lumps, especially lately, by laying a bid down early.
