[QUOTE="subzero, post: 470018, member: 9185"] It actually kind of bothers me why buyers fight each other in an auction, it's not like as if it's at a live auction house where the bidding lasts for no longer than 30 seconds or more, that's complete different, but to constantly fight back and forth to be the top bidder on ebay only makes the items more expensive for the people bidding, they're actually making the item more expensive for themselves. This is obviously a very fun thing to watch when you're [i]selling[/i] something but when you're the buyer you're just defeating yourself, this does also wind me up a little bit when I have my eye on something interesting to bid on. When I see something and want/need that thing then I keep my cards close to my chest and throw my highest bid in with 3 seconds left to go, so it doesn't give the other bidders a chance to react, job done. Done it this way for years on every single auction, I never understand why people whack in their top bid or fight it out with days left to go. [/QUOTE]
