OH, they might start in the last 5 to 1 minutes. Steve, since it's probably been a LONG time since you've placed a (the-"p"-word) bid, you might have forgotten that if you didn't bid enough, ebay immediately tells you that and allows you to place another bid, all on the same display. So, this gives the nibble-sniper (unless someone has a better name) a chance to do a bunch of both (nibble & snipe) with a few seconds between each nibble-snipe. Since they can place a bunch of them, they usually only bid the next increment, but it's a hoot to watch.
