see the changing of successive bid increments by +/- 50p trying to

flEabay indeed

I haven't bothered to look at these bids but I will observe that in
general, things would be lot simpler if people just bid their maximum
and then sat back rather than fannying around upping their bids.

Indeed. You bid your maximum at the last minute. Anything else is for
saps.

Other than making a single bid to prevent the seller from removing the
item from sale.
