    There are too many "new" bidders who have never purchased anything and who have zero feedback for lots of the goodies this seller has. Call me suspicious if you like but I am. There sure some nice pieces however in his collection and a frenzy will no doubt ensure on Sunday night when most of the pieces finish

    hmm...
    there do seem to be an awful lot of bidders (with a single digit feedback count) who have bids on several of the sellers items. Those users all seem to have the same technique of putting in succesive bids raising the amount a little at a time.

    Of course this could be totally normal-
    neophyte bidders might always act that way & the seller has an awful lot of early 911 items- not too strange that a 911 owner would be interested in several of them at once.

    I just got a very nice used pair of visors for $60.00. Think I'll clean off the dirt and save an extra $600.00 or so.

    Real bidders hide in the foilage, only to emerge with 10 seconds or so left. Fire off the highest bid you are willing to pay, and compete with those who are doing the same. These folks are just driving up the price of admission to the final round of sniping.

    you had to pay extra for a drivers side mirror but I thought the passenger side mirror came standard.

    from the looks of this auction if they had mirrors you would have to take out a second on the house.

    I think Chuck nailed it...no mirror in either of my car's original visors. If Cindy wants a vainty mirror, she'd better place one in her purse!

    Aussie cars had mirror on the passeneger side as I think did most of the Euro countries. Lucky about that otherwise I might be tempted to bid on the sunvisors for my RS which is West German delivery.
