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.
mmm you don;t really get this do you?
Better to use a sniping service last thing.... as is shurely obvious,
bidding early is dumb.


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.


Since when did that ever stop anybody?
