Ifthe particular book you are watching on ebay seems to "jump out at you" as afantastic find then make sure to take a note of the end time for theauction, but do not bid on it straight away as this will possibly bringit to the attention of a rival buyer or number of prospective historicbook purchasers all looking for a similar market, which in turn willhave the effect of driving up the final price if it is an auctionformat item.
