Sometimes I sorta want an item and set my proxy bid, kinda high, at
the beginning. Folk will inch up, others will try the last minute
bid but how does anyone know what my proxy is?

Yep. A few years ago, I put my maximum proxy bid on a Racal receiver. Nobody
beat my bid after a week. The seller told me he figured my high initial bid
scared others away. At least they didn't come around for the last-minute
feeding frenzy.

Nice radio, too. I plead seniority on the model number (6217?), but it's the
transistor Wadley-Loop model with the odometer style freq readouts and purely
analog tuning, and only a couple inches high in rack-mount. Sits under my
RA-17C.
