<p>[QUOTE="Petee, post: 1384058, member: 36123"]In theory you're right. I haven't read through all the posts in this thread, and this might have been said, but when you bid your max early you start getting people who want to be "competitive" and beat your bid, also alot of bidders examine one auction closely and decide that thats the one they want. You'd think that they'd have enough sense to hold onto their money and would rather pay less for the same thing from another auction, but thats not the case. I think its especially true for more unusual items, they get the hype and feel that they are even more rare than they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>But its pretty common for people who buy stuff off ebay for resale or restoration to just go through listings and do what you're saying, putting their (usually low) max bids on alot of items early assuming they'll be outbid on 99% of them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
