<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 1236564, member: 13650&quot;]This is exactly right.&nbsp; Many people on ebay are irrational.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you bid $150 on an item that should only be $125, and it sits there long enough, somebody out there is going to think about it for hours and rationalize it in their own mind to bid $155.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you don&#039;t give them a max bid to sit there and think about, then it keeps the price lower and avoids that situation.&nbsp;&nbsp; It seems as though people will always talk themselves into bidding higher just to win if they have time to think about it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;That&#039;s why people use the sniping programs.&nbsp; You can set up a sniping program to simultaneously place your max bid on 10 auctions at the exact same time, 1 second before they end.&nbsp;&nbsp; This is nothing new.&nbsp; It&#039;s been going on for years.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The worst I&#039;ve ever been outbid was by one cent and it was completely coincidental.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;If the winning bid is $1 over your max bid, that&#039;s just the bid increment.&nbsp; They could have bid a million dollars on it and the new bid is only going to go the min. bid increment over your high bid.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
