[GreenKeys] Bidding Mystery

[Larry Tighe]

Maybe, probably, my intellect is sorely below average but,  is there an 
explanation for eBay bidders that bid against themselves?  I'm watching and 
old "portable" tty machine.

A handful of bidders keep bidding this thing up and it has much time to go 
before the ending.  Obviously, if you put your bid in just at closing, for 
the max. amount you will spend, you're not "challenging" another bidder to 
go higher and thus raising the price you're going to pay! !

There are several easy mechanisms out there for coming in at the 
end....they're for some other discussion....so, what am I missing about this 
"apparently" self-destructive bidding?

I've never bid except at the last moment....put my max. I'll pay in and 
usually get what I want.  Too, there's no advertising that I'm in there with 
continually "uping" someone else's bid.

What don't I understand.
