nope.
it was more like "nice... the book is well below market and there are 4 people trying to snipe a charity auction" or something like that...
which led to my question here "ebay is able to show snipers?" which I thought might be some new function they had... but it sounds like you just were equating watchers to snipers?
He also called them dbags
Yeah, I saw that too - something about "4 dbags looking to snipe"
I suppose it's impossible that someone saw that book and:
A) Had a similar copy and wanted to see where this one ended, or
B) Came across and it and wanted to check past sales so they marked it to watch and come back later when they knew what they wanted to bid, or
C) Were running through all the books from that particular title in a search and was bookmarking them as they saw them so they could return later, having them all on his "my eBay page".
Reason & logic have no place here!
We could be using our time jumping to conclusions instead!
