Ah I missed that. But still not sure I understand it, as people would have to place an initial bid anyhow, no?

But if they're the ONLY bidder at 10pm on closing night the item closes, so if an item has no bids you can wait and hope that as it sneaks up on 10pm you can get that one bid in and win the item before extended bidding. Once someone else bids, that vain hope is shattered and now you might as well put your placeholder in.

Got it. Still, Mark says this typically happens WITHIN A MINUTE. Are people really following items that hypervigilantly and then reacting that quickly? And why wouldn't it happen with Al?

People do set up notifications, so as soon as that initial bid is placed, their phone yells at them and then they bid. It really doesn't surprise me.

Perhaps Mark should try this in the middle of the night and see if it still happens.

You, can use gixen to set up ebay notifications. Although I don't think there is a reason to do that in an ebay auction.

Aha.... that might explain it. Didn't know that feature existed. Definitely makes more sense now.... thanks!

I have said this before, but I am perplexed by how people bid on auctions in general. I cannot understand why bidders will bid something up day after day and keep raising the price. Is it a testosterone thing to say you have the highest bid?

If I want to win an auction, you’ll never know it until the closing seconds. I’ll fire my max bid at the end and will more than likely win.

I think that some bidders just reason that everyone has a maximum amount they will pay for an item, and if they want to win they're going to have to outbid them all anyhow, so they might as well just bid now. Especially if they think there's a chance they might not be available for bidding on the night the auction ends. I've certainly done that before. Though it's not my regular approach.

I have watched items, but I don't know how to set up notifications. Can you provide information about how to do that?

Every auction is different.

That is a great explanation as I have had that happen before just like Mark described.
