    Since we had the discussion on sniping, why would anyone bid like this?

    Looks like it just moves the price up:Do No:

    I hate these guys that just bid, bid again, bid again, until they have the lead, just to get out bid again:blast:

    I just don't understand, bid your max and be done with it.

    While we are here, any guesses at the final bid?

    Actually, im pretty sure thats just how ebay does it.

    When you put in a max bid, it automatically goes up to it or the other persons max bid, but it looks like that in the bid history.

    when you put in a max bid it bids again and again for you to get you the lead or up to what you want to pay...

    Don't know. Looks like bidder 5 bid $205, then bidder 8 came along, bid $210, 216, 221, 227, 241, 253. Then bidder 5 got back into it, until he out bid 8, then back to 8? Anyhow, wished they were forced to show the names. Bidder 8 has a 85% positive:spank:

    Here's what it says above the bids:

    Only actual bids (not automatic bids generated up to a bidder's maximum) are shown. Automatic bids may be placed days or hours before a listing ends.

    Prices are out of control.
