I don't understand... Something is at $50 and I bid $150 as maximum I am willing to pay. If someone come at the last seconds and bid $120, I will still win the auction. Even if the person come and bid more than my maximum, it won't be by one or 2 dollars usualy. Perhaps he will bid $160. Then what ? I am willing to pay more than that ? If that's the case, that mean I simply didn't bid the maximum I was willing to pay. Even if he bid only one dollars more than you. What you do ? you bid one more dollar than him ? If he has the same reasoning as yourself, he will then bid one more dollars... and so on. Where do you stop ?!? You have to put yourself an absolute maximum. So simply bid it directly from the start. In practice it doesn't change any thing. It's just all in your head... :) Cheers, Yann Stettler
