Why shouldn't you place a ridiculously high bid amount at the last second? It doesn't matter if you can't afford it. Because of the ebay proxy system You'll only ever pay the minimum amount necessary to win. Is there something i'm not getting? Why isn't everyone doing this?
it equals itself out to a rare lucky position or near average value

Perhaps it's not the best to get an amazing deal, but if something is already heavily discounted or is a one of a kind, isn't this the correct choice?

Because when two people do that on the same item they quickly learn it's a stupid idea, someones becomes a non paying bidder and the seller refuses to sell to either of you.
Why wouldn't your bid be counted as the full amount you bid?

>>1555215
because that is just how the proxy system werks
