I guess if you were bidding and I recognized you and if I felt I wanted you to have it more than me.... but that has to do with our relationship, not the CR. Not long ago I had some folks kindly defer bidding on an eBay item to my benefit, which I considered an act of consideration and kindness, but they certainly were not obligated to do that!!
But, although it is nice to know which bidders are CRers and then have that information to base your decision on, in general, I think we have agreed that if you want it you should go ahead and bid on it!
Is that right? Do all of us more or less agree here?
