    hey komster....
    this topic has already been discussed here, initiated by Soundwarp

    Moreover, at this point of time...ebay has hidden nicks while bidding and you won't know whom you've outbid until the auction has ended and you've identified the winner.

    So ethics wise...just bid your best price for the items you want.
    If an item interest you and you know someone who wants it, ask around and see if they are bidding for it too and then decide who will be bid for it (i guess). it's time consuming so decide for yourself

    I think eBay's taken it out of our hands now. Unless I'm talking to someone about what I'm bidding now, it's just me goin' solo these days. Iceburn and myself bidded against each other the other day and he ended up paying more. We didn't realise till later.

    Seriously, If you want something "that badly", As if you care if that competitor is someone from Ozformers or someone from Timbuktu...
