[quote="Anonymous"]Won an auction yesterday (324565701714), but I am not entirely sure what happened. Am I reading the log right if I conclude that the other guy got jumpy toward end of the auction and raised his bid two times (2:27:07 & 2:27:15) just for good measure? There doesn't seem to be competing bids around that time. Or is there some technical detail that I am missing that's not visible in the bid log?[/quote]

That does sound odd to me, indeed, completely counterintuitive, to be honest. Not sure about others, but personally I don't find bidding against oneself to be awfully forbidding...

I don't believe that works well as a strategy though, I think it is just more likely to increase the final selling price.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Guest</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2021 11:20 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: Won an auction, but not sure what happened exactly</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Won an auction yesterday (324565701714), but I am not entirely sure what happened.
