I was looking at a thread I started a couple of years ago to find some information. It was back in the day when ebay didn't block bidder names.

The thread had a nice discussion about serious collectors with deep pockets. You used to be able to watch their bidding strategies and how strategies would change if you recognized the handle of a heavy hitter.

I will never be buying a first gen Grand Sport RD for $7,000 but it used to be more fun to watch the bidding when you knew who was bidding. There is less interest when the only thing you know is the high number when the bidding ends.

Anyone else miss knowing the bidder names?
