renate999 asked, "Now i'm just struggling with one more issue: do I keep my 'discovery' to myself, or do I tell my friends about AS, and risk losing an auction to one of them?"

By all means tell your friends! You'll only lose an auction to one of them if (a) your friend(s)collect the same things you do AND (b) they have a higher bid amount than you do. I have found it wise to always use the highest amount I'm willing to pay for an item in setting up my snipe. That way, if I'm outbid, at least the item goes for more than I wanted to pay anyhow.

And don't forget you get free snipes when your friends sign up!
