<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 3574093, member: 33"]All I can tell you is that the person who put in the 6th bid of $489.32 was in first place for only a little over an hour. At the time they put in the bid, nobody would have known their high bid and it would have looked like $29.10 to everybody else. Only a little over an hour later, the person who ended up winning must have put in an exceptionally high bid. But at the time, it would have looked like $30.10. That happened on Dec. 21. Then six days later, on the 27th, the 6th bidder came back and put in three more bids within less than a minute of each other, trying to outbid the person in first place. Must have been somewhat desperate to win, to put in that many bids. The person who won only put in one bid, a very high one, back on the 21st.</p><p><br /></p><p>That's not what you're asking but I found it interesting to analyze. Also, *nobody* put in any last-minute snipe bids. That's quite unusual these days for something supposedly desirable. Makes me wonder...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
