[Chevelle-list] E bay question

[Fred Knoche]

I know a lot you guys use E Bay from time to time to buy cars, parts, etc., so I want someone to tell me why people insist on being the high bidder through the entire auction. To me this just invites competition and drives the prices out of most people’s range. (Like mine!)  My Idea is to bid the highest you want to pay at the last second and let it go.        Somebody please tell me what I’m missing.  This is an example; just watch the price war going on with this Yenko Chevelle! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=6164&item=2456371365&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWA%3AIT   Fred 67 SS 396 67 Elky 350
