to be devils advocate...there may be occasions where you keep upping your bid so a specific buyer doesn't win...which will benefit the seller...and one's spite index!

Hey Peter
I think that can easily happen with not knowing the bidders ID's too ala most of the premium auction houses s/w. I can't say how many times I have kept freaking clicking and bidding and have never gotten to the high bid. At the end of the day there will be decisions we make that we feel are better than others, but rarely, if ever, will they be perfect.

I buy cards out of spite on a regular basis, especially from auction houses. I had one of these purchases make the board as a "this is rediculous" thread and I am 100% confident that I wasn't shilled, although at the time I didn't know the identity of the opposite bidder.
