Wow, looks like a great deal! And the owner seems reputable. Why not give it a shot? I've never heard of a variegated Blue Java before though.

I'm actually tempted by this. I might try to bid on it myself.

Well there are only four bids so far, and that hasn't changed since it was posted here. If I do try and bid I'll wait three days before bidding.

Then the other bidders get manic chipping away at your proxy bid driving the price higher than if you had waited til the end. It's human nature and collectors can get pretty nutty. I used to use a website called e-snipe to snipe auctions in the final seconds. I was very successful at winning auctions on the cheap!

Yes Ebay calls it a proxy bid. I just figure if you can save a few bucks by sniping why not.

If this was 2010 I'd probably be in there bidding away. I think I have beat the addiction.

I've sniped at least 10 auctions but it doesn't always get the cheapest price. When I really want something and the seller starts with a low teaser price to get lots of folks interested I've sometimes had success placing a high initial bid to chase away everybody. Sometimes works.

I wonder if this is a stable plant.
