Well usually a person has a max around a round figure, say $100 for fun. 
Someone will increase bids below the round figures, say $24.09, 49.09, 74.09, 
99.09 until they catch the max. The 99.09 would drive it to $100 instead of 
$102.xx or whatever so you know you have reached the limit. I saw someone 
drive up an item to the max of $2000 just for fun, they had no intention of 
buying the item.
