go get 'um (Guest)

I must be getting old, keep forgetting stuff. EBay has a phrase for items with a lot of bids, it's called a "hot item". Every bid that's placed, be it 1 or 50, by the same bidder is counted as a bid. If you bid up by increments and there were 2 bids before you started, you place 10 increment bids to catch the high bidder, there are now 12 bids on that item even tho you are 1 bidder. Inexperienced bidders now see an item with 12 bids and WOW, this must be something for so many to be bidding on it! They must know something I don't. This entices them to bid and it snowballs. I've seen $3 items go for over $50 because of this. Better to do your silent research.
