You DO realize that I would have quickly gone into lurk-mode if I hadn't received all the wonderful responses (and warm welcome) that I've received. My modus operandi is usually to lurk, because I've found voicing my opinion (and even asking questions) can sometimes lead to flame wars. I don't have the patience or stamina for those kinds of games, so I tend to just not put myself out there much anymore!
So pat yourselves on the back, because if you hadn't taken the time to welcome me, and deal with my questions (which I'm sure have been asked over and over ad nauseum), then I would have likely have retreated by now and quietly figured this stuff out all by myself (and made a lot of mistakes born of ignorance)!
At first glance this auction stuff may seem simple, but in truth if you want to win (or sell) you HAVE to study and research and watch and learn, and over time develop a "winning" strategy!
Obviously, I've found my way by pure chance to a winnning team!
Ok... where's that tissue!?
