This subject has repeatedly come up recently and I guess it needs addressing.
Nobody is gonna make anyone abide by any suggestions whatsoever but failure to respect the general consensus may end up with the culprit being viewed as something of an arsehole.
It seems that giving the first person to spot an item the sole right to bid is unworkable in all circumstances.
Might be a good idea for items that should sell for less than £100 or so, to put on a marker bid to indicate your interest and warn other forum members that you intend to win said item.
However, in the case of items like the Made in France Superstars, I think it should go to the bidder with the most stones.
There were 3 of us in here who wanted them and regretably I didn't win.
Someone else might have.
Anybody else got any ideas on this subject ?
