I would hate to see all items to go a single (or just a few) winners.
thanks,

Usually auctioneers do not hate to see their items being bid higher by one of their best customers, if you don't like it then don't sell them this way, would you rather that I stopped bidding on your sales?
Hi Otoh,
We certainly welcome you to make bids on this (and all future) auctions.
Having said that, I still hope that other people get a chance to win some of the goodies here.
In terms of you consistently outbidding ALL of the people on ALL of the items, there is an expressed viewpoint that it’s actually counterproductive to the auction, as it disincentives people to make any further bids, as it might be futile if you continue to outbid them every time. In turn, that might lead to fewer winners and lower final prices. (If there were 2 or more strong bidders, then this might not happen.)
Again, the above is just one other person’s perspective, and I have not given it enough thought to come to a definitive conclusion yet. Maybe there is no right answer. Maybe other experienced people can chime in as well.
Regardless, this is a public auction on an open forum, so I can’t and won’t stop you from making further bids. Please don’t take offense at my comments.
I just want to encourage others not to give up!
thanks,
Bobby
My objective as a buyer is the same as most ppl, to obtain the coins that I want at the lowest price possible and a few other things like support the secondary market in coins that I'm already invested in, I am not "consistently outbidding ALL of the people on ALL of the items" after my bids on the 23rd I deliberately avoided doing this, I did it for just one day on the 22nd when I started, in order to make a splash and way before the auction is due to end, it doesn't seem to have put ppl off, anyway as you imply it is pure speculation by a single person that my participating in this way is going to be detrimental to the final results.

One day I will not be a newbie anymore. I do not care to discuss on forums, I am a good BTCC mint client that's all that interests me.

I never meant to imply btcc or bobby was responsible, just seemed odd, but yeah that probably makes more sense actually. Thanks for clarifying! Cheers, cool auction to watch either way! 
No worries owlcatz.
And thank you for giving me an opportunity to explain the situation with new users bidding from China.
thanks,

Whats up with all the newbie accounts bidding up the prices?
Good point, was thinking the same thing.
Some do it to get more post count for signature campaigns. They bid when they know they're likely to be outbid.

I will not bid otherwise. Might not matter, just saying...
Thanks!
Hi everyone.
Of these 3 accounts, I personally know Justin_Fang, as he’s a friend and colleague of mine. He personally wants to buy those two items, so that’s why he bid on them. It’s a legitimate bid.
As for the other 2 accounts, I don’t know who they are.
However, what’s true this time is that we have notified various Mint customers in China, alerting them to this auction. As you can imagine, they usually don’t frequent this forum. So some bidding and newbie user accounts could be coming from China, being legitimate customers.
I hope that this forum and community welcome new users, regardless of nationality and location.
I’m still a newbie user, for example, and I live in China.
What I can say is this: being a reputable person and BTCC being a reputable company, I hope that you can trust us that we are NOT sending in newbie users and making shill bids to pump up prices.
I hope that this post can clear the air and remove some doubt.
Please feel free to ask me anything else.
In this mean time, I do hope that many of you do bid again, and end up winning some items.
I would hate to see all items to go a single (or just a few) winners.
thanks,
Bobby

Looks like classic shill bidding to me as well.
