Yes well there is that... But from my experience it is usually a concerted effort on the part of those who have the most to gain to game the system. Online auctions are notorious for being" fixed."

I and others have looked at what might be shill bidding here and no one has been found. It has turned out that some ebay resellers were buying accessories to resell and raising the win prices of those accessories. We also have one who resells to his "friends", but he just raises prices above bargain level. Most of the overbidding is done by stupidity (like SOB said) and gross negligence along with no attempt to estimate what a good bid price should be. Then there is blindness of the bidding frenzy- which makes any kind of auction profitable for the auctioneer.

An MSRP is $50 each! BP must be getting a steal at $12.

No way I can’t believe cbid would even uphold that.

Too much to drink? I just overbid on 4 cigars thinking the bid amount was for all 4. $9 per cigar for sticks worth $3. Won't do that again.

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but as a noobie, One thing I've noticed, that I think explains some of the crazier overbids, is that when I scroll through the boxes where you put your bid amounts, they go way up, and down, depending which way you are scrolling. It almost got me once, when I put my bid in, and then scrolled down to check something in the description, the bid amounts were altered. Apparently, if you bid over a certain number of units, it asks if you meant to do that, which i didn't. Saved me a fortune.

Yup, been that way for as long as I have been here. If your mouse pointer is on top of either the bid or max bid box and you use a scroll wheel, the value in the box your pointer starts over will increment quickly when you scroll.

In these cases though, I suspect dumb bidders. The dollar amounts are too specific and sometimes are not horribly overbid, just ridiculously overbid.

I have gotten through in under 20 minutes both times I called, but others have reported up to an hour wait (or more) on the phone.
