    Why Do Idiots Bid Up Auctions When...

    there are still 2 - 3 days left in auction? Do they have brain damage? Are they mildly retarded? Are they a less evolved species of primate? Someone explain this to me please.

    Well some people don't get how the system works and also they wanna make sure they get what it is and have the money too burn but more than likely it's the person who started the auction inflating things...

      you'll pay what you'll pay, no matter what stage the auction is at. if someone else wants to pay more let them be an idiot.

        exactly, just set what your willing to pay for the item, if it goes past that you didn't want it anyways right?

          True some people dont know how the system works.

          The auctions I'm talking about are domain auctions. There are some going on right now where idiots are bidding very aggressively early on. All they're doing is encouraging others to bid by making them think "Oooh, someone really wants this domain, it must be worth a lot".

            Some people do not want to waste their life on the auction site and wait for the last miniute to bid.

            I don't think that makes them an idiot.

                These are most likely shill bids put up to make other potential buyers think their shitty domain is worth something.

                  Yes, that is the only valid reason in which bidding early is acceptable. That is definitely not the case with the auctions I'm currently participating in though. The people I am referring too are not only bidding early and bidding high, they are checking the auction at least every hour to make sure they remain the highest bidder. These people seem so stupid, I dont know how they managed to survive into adulthood.

                    they are most likely new to online bidding or just don't have time to bid at the last second like most do.
