Psychotic Ebay Bidding

[croftynsteph]

am i the only one that wonders why people continue to bid on things that aren't going to end for days? wouldn't it make much more sense to wait until the last minutes and put in a real bid after doing some reasearch and concluding what you're willing to spend on the item? of course this is only irksome because the things i'm typically interested in are the same things that go up to around 300 with 3 days left and i have to pass. And besides, it'd be much more fun and economical to just punch in a moderate bid with a 30 seconds left and hope you lowballed it just right. Most of the early bidders only serve as inflation for the final selling price.
