Stupidist eBay Auction EVER

I'm not, basically I am placing a bid but I am outbid by someone who had a higher top bid. Looking at the bid history it can be confusing but basically

Say the auction was at $100
Bidder A authorizes eBay to bid up to $500 on their behalf but eBay displays it as $110
Bidder B bids $120 and eBay then bids $130 on Bidder A's behalf

It isn't until Bidder B bids $501 that they are actually the top bidder

 

ohhh... something like MAX bid i saw on ebay, but never knew how it worked.
Thanx

 

ive tried explaining that to my mother so many times.

 

LMFAO!
That's going to be one happy man and one exhausted fiance!

Nice job on the advertising yfs1.

 

Its a great feature but it drives you crazy when you get instantly outbid like 10 times in a row

 

Once I was bidding on a 15k slot and i was outbid right after i bidded. I thought, wow, that guy is fast!!!

I have also seen some people use sniper tools as well for bidding. Otherwise how could one bid in that last second of the ending time of auction. I bidded when 10 secs were remaining, I refreshed and I was outbid.

 

Yup, back in the day when I used Yahoo if there was a snipe it extended the auction by like 30 seconds which was great for sellers

Over $800 and nearly 17000 views .... wow!

 

HOLY MOLEY!!!!!

 

Something tells me my $926 bid is going to look pretty pathetic when this auction actually finishes ...lol

 

Update: My brother says 100 folks currently watching the auction. Not on eBay Pulse, but currently #5 one level below

 

Holy Crap!!!! Last time I checked in it was still only $100

16,936 views lol

 

Holy smokes ... the shaving bag zipped around the world; this is one sharp auction!

 

Source URL of the image (http://www.watching-paint-dry.com/ebay/majorgeeks-1.jpg) remids me of this:

Most boring website on the Internet: http://www.watching-grass-grow.com/

This thing is working sonce June of 2002.

BTW, watching-paint-dry is your website?

 

Yep ... as a matter of fact, the v7ndotcom page won several thousands dollars for charity in that SEO contest ... and I have a carcasherdotcom seocontest page trying to win more for a good cause ... althought not doing as well so far ... love to have you guys toss some Google Juice at it! ;-)

 

Alek - shoot me a note/reminder and I'll do a blog and some other write-ups and linking for you for the contest like I did last time-round ... good luck!

 

I would give you a link for that page tomorrow morning.

 

Cool - thanks SumitBahl

Note that folks who help out the charity entry with some decent google juice get a listing here

I.e. link for Celiac Disease for a few months, get a permanent PR6 backlink!
Ain't shabby ... and won't cost you a $1,000+ like the used Seattle Supersonics Shaving Bag ... ;-)

 

Looks like it is holding steady at $1025

I wonder if Golden Palace will show up

 

im sorry, am i missing something?
is this just pure insanity....its and old, broken bag!
is the make special or something? or has i just had looooads of press?
