I'm watching an auction
 

... so why do pieces of shit try to outbid each other days before the auction ends. You're better off waiting for the last day, dumb asses :2 cents:

Just laying down a marker.

i know, why the fuck all people dont wait for last minute and then outbid it, and not skyrocket price few days before end of auction...

Like eBay. No action for 7 days and like 10 bids in the last few seconds.

what's the difference?

because the price is driven up for no reason... I'm about to pay 2k over the amount cause two pieces of shit are going back and forth

When I was 18 I had a friend that bought and sold a bunch of cars. If they didn't sell in a week he'd list them on eBay, and about 4 hours before the end of the auction about 7 of us would bid like crazy on it right below the reserve then someone would send it over the top and win.

They are possibly doing the same.

Auctions
 

You new to online auctions?
1st there the scam sites you pay for each bid you make or the EBAY type sites.
EBAY has a lot of "buy it now," which I usually try to do. I'll pay extra, as I know I will get the item, and it's usually cheaper than the store price. Let alone the driving 30 miles to the store.
Last is EBAY bidding. If you don't bid, you have 0 chance of wiining the bid.
a lot of bidders & THERE ARE PROGRAMS TO DO THIS, that bid in the past few seconds of an auction.
Hey no matter what, You win some, you lose some.
Winner - Got a great new computer chair for $10 yesterday. Just need to figure out how to get it further from the floor.
Winner- Coke dinette set worth $1500 for $150 last year.
Winner/Loser - $50 at auction, pair of cowboy boot for GF. She hated them. But sent to her EX for a birthday present. He loves them. We all endend up winners (I got more great sex over the deal). Downside, to get the boots, also got 3 pickup loads of clothing. 2 yard sales didn't get rid of it. Finally doanted it all. Except what GF kept for her & family. An easy $1000 woth of clothes, including a full length Mink coat.
Online auctions of what you make of them. great bargains BUT buyer beware
