Sorry, perhaps I was off on the question. I understand how the bidding
process works, but I thought there might be a "gentlemans" agreement here on
the list regarding Oly equipment - offer things to your friends and don't
try to submarine them on e*ay when you know they are bidding on an item.

If you have "realistic" funding: you put in maximum bid of what you think
it is worth, intersect with what you can afford.
If you have more money than Bill Gates - triple the previous amount
If you have restricted budget - bid what you can afford.
The rest is up to the bidders out there, which may include list members or
not. If you outbid someone, it just means you are willing to pay more.
Doesn't matter whether it is a list member or not.
Of course, if you use the keep upping-the-bid model, that might be
different.
