I think I tend to agree with Chris, however, I have often wondered if this
is a common practice on Ebay - for example the auction for the p30t that I
lost the other day - it sat on au$121 for 8 days with not an ounce of
activity and then finally only two hours before the close of the auction, it
doubled in price, with a war going on with my proxy bid and this other
person continually driving the price up. I wasn't there to put in one final
higher bid (thank god, it would have been too much to pay anyways), but the
auction ended on au$270! Again, this doesn't explain the fact that this
person won the final auction bid, unless of course it backfired on him and
he thought that I would continue to outbid him! Of course, it could have
been the same sort of circumstance as the auction David posted, and I am
well aware of "snipers", but NO bidding activity in 8 whole days? It sure
does make you wonder.
Tanya.
