Swifty - I think your ethical dilema is about to be increased, as you may now find people looking for them and placing bids. I'm sat at a pc at the moment writing some education drivel, coming on here occasionally to keep my sanity:
Does this help:
Pring offers a distinction between morals; "concerned with what is right or wrong thing to do.", and ethics; "philosophical enquiry into the basis of morals or moral judgement" :sleep3: .
In the end it's up to you I think, and that's speaking as someone who very often waits until the last 5 seconds to bid. I think we can be a little guilty of taking ebay too serious sometimes, as a seller you want the most without misleading someone, as a buyer you want the bargain. I was talking to someone at work about ebay buying (not records in this case), he offered a seller a couple of buy it now offers which she turned down on principal. He ended winning the item (collect only) for min bid. Went round to collect and she was refusing to give it him for the min bid wanting to revert to the offer he made by email!
I know this isn't helping, I'm just bored.
