Take a look at this auction, picked at random:

http://offer.ebay.com/ws3/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=6317880480

Note that this change DOES NOT tell you how much higher the high bidder is willing to go, and is not, IMO,
unethical as a result. However it may tell you something about how determined the other bidders are, and
then again it might not.  :=))
