Believe me, I understand your feeling, but there's no such thing as a "healthy auction" online. Online auctions are a completely different animal than live auctions. You can't snipe at a live auction - unless you
literally snipe the opponent.
Oh, and that's also why I try to buy as many used parts as I can from the members here. A lot of the time you can just put a call out for a wanted item and Bob's yer uncle.
