Reply to "Only AS? or should I put a bid in directly first?"

Steve, you bring up an interesting point...just when (if ever) is it kosher to contact a seller directly and ask them to sell an item outright to you? I've contacted sellers when I've missed an auction deadline and the item didn't sell; most are more than happy to sell it to you for a reasonable price.

However, for example, there is an auction right now that I would almost sell my family to get...and waiting for the next couple days 'til the end of the auction is going to be killer but I just don't know if it is right for me to approach him outright.

I suppose I won't really do it because it just kinda feels wrong but I was wondering how often folks do that.
