<p>[QUOTE="Joshua Brown, post: 223401, member: 3615"]I'm no auction expert and would like to know the answer to these questions myself but in my opinion about the question of whether to bid discreetly and were to sit/stand I belive it depends upon the people and how they think. If you can get to know the people you can decide what to do, for instance people who turn it into something personal when they get into a bidding war (or they may already have something against you) will be more likely to keep bidding if they can see you. In other cases they might stop bidding if they can see you if it is clear that you are not going to stop till you get it (this would most likely be indicated by very obviously holding your hand up to bid and not letting it down between bids). I hope some of this was helpful and hopefully we will have someone with more experience come in to anwser!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
