Like I said... it is risky, and I don't agree 
with it.  However, I am lucky because I can just 
get the one I am interested in and not the group 
of 3, but if you'd feel better about bidding 
against her on Yahoo, then feel free to do so.

If she is already bidding on them, why would I 
pay more to go through my own deputy, bid against 
her, raise the prices, pay fees and shipping from 
japan, and end up with 2 cels I don't want, when 
I can avoid all that hassle and just buy from her?
 I might not agree with what she is doing, but I 
end up benefitting from it in the end.

Eventhough what she is doing is usually 
considered "wrong" in collecting circles, some 
deputies won't cancel your bid requests even if 
the bid hasn't actually been placed yet.  I just 
think she is trying to make the best of a bad 
situation, and we've all been in tight spots 
before, so I don't think it's fair to give her so 
much grief about it.  I have dealt with her 
before in the past, and she is a nice person, and 
a die-hard collector, and I know she wouldn't be 
doing this if she didn't have a darn good reason 
too!  ^_^ 

Thanks for listening to my take from "the other 
side!"  *hehehe*
