Its just very frustrating having to spend your entire night into the morning if you really want a item to make sure youre not outbid
you dont have to, just put in your max bid, a REAL max bid, a bid that if someone asked for one penny more, you just wouldnt do it, you wouldnt pay a penny more if someone twisted your arm to the point of breaking it. put in that max bid, and go to bed, you will either win the item or you won't, but you won't have regrets either and you can go to sleep.

I personally don't like putting in max bids as I don't trust some auction houses. They know your max bid and can play with it any way they want. Maybe most auction houses are ethical about this, but I'm sure there are many that don't play fair.
