Default Re: A real interesting eBay item!

A lot of people will put a high bid on something to see what the others are bidding and what the reserve is and then retract their bid saying they bid the wrong amount. I watched somebody do that on a tire I was trying to win and I figured that they would come back at the last second and bid just enough to outbid me. So I upped my bid by $1 and sure enough they bid at the last second but came up .50 short and I still won it. It could be someone trying to do that.
