How do u bid on ebay???

[Ersk]

This might seem like a dorky question but I'm a straight up last minute/second bidder - I NEVER bid before that and pump the price up - I don't see the point. I have noticed plenty here do though.....

Why do people bid DAYS before the auction ends and risk pumping up the finishing price???

Your thoughts.....

Because you can't always know you will be there when it closes...........and also spur of the moment bids.

Well, for me, I know for a fact, I have so many people looking for cards for me, and giving me cheap buys they pick up.

So if I bid, they see my name tag, and re-frain from bidding.

But it depends, sometimes I leave to the last second, especially if I think a card is shilled. Or, i don't want anyone to see what I will be bidding on.
