Re: Yes, times they are a changing

Mecum admits as much as they can take ghost bids up to the reserve. So bids may be phony below the reserve. What difference does it make anyway?

Re: Yes, times they are a changing

I've used this for 10 years on ebay, can't recall losing an auction, BTW last 5 seconds. Most people bid on ebay one bid increment above the current bid: https://www.gixen.com/main/index.php

Re: Synthetic oil

My engineering field wasn't motor oils, but I was interested since we had a lube blending and packaging plant on site. Additives came from somewhere else. The refinery just produced the base stocks....
