What we have here is 2 people with a LOT of money who are playing "Mine's Bigger Than Yours." Just for reference the 2 bidder I/D's are [pekkk] [k***p] and [caveman1951] [a***1]. The slide of the MT at Bakersfield marks a new high on what these 2 have bid, but they have been going at it now for several weeks. You need only to look at their bidding records to see that they have huge piles of cash to throw at slides. Very reminiscent of [cheeseheaddad] several years ago - price is no object. They don't bid on every slide, so there are a few left for the bottom feeders. I tracked a buyer a while back who was bidding on SP steam negatives and his annualized winnings were over $135,000 for all items. So be mindful that there are some heavy hitters on eBay and don't get your hopes too high if you are bidding on SP steam slides or negatives. Happy Trials to all,
