Gee, that means that everyone just bids whatever they're willing to pay and 
the only difference is that it's done at the last minute...  Like a sealed 
bid auction....

heh, imagine that, people just bidding what they're willing to pay for an 
item, instead of trying to " play psychological games" with the other bidders.

The way I look at it is this..  If you're willing to pay $100 for an item, 
and someone outbids you with 30 minutes (or seconds) left in the auctiion, 
then they were obviously willing to pay more than you were...  
If not, you should have followed instructions and bid what you were actually 
willing to pay in the first place.

I'm Done.
