Could definately be Demi - my little ones feet arent quite that big yet.

I heard a lady refer to her *unborn* as A.L.F the other day, I can now totally see why.

Hey, if the baby can kick like that now, can't you just picture how much fun you'll have when he or she hits the terrible twos? 
LOL... That's what I thought of... the movie Alien!

Were all 27 bids that disneyfan not deciding on their MAX?

Puppy,
How does your BAP (Bid Analysis Program) handle this auction. I'm not sure I understand what was going on since some of the bids appear to be less than minimum bid increments.

I learned something new about bidding when I saw that. I thought you had to bid at least an increment more when raising your max and already in the lead.
Guess that's not the case.
Let's try it.
Haven't double checked, but looks OK at first glance.
(edit) oops I see a problem... but not where I expected it would be. will work on it.

Bid history at eBay is in amount order. The following is sorted by day/time.
First bid placed is line #1. That should make it easier to follow the auction.
Two additional columns have been calculated and added. They are the current
bid and high bidder, as displayed on eBay after each bid is placed. v2.1.09
* = Winning bid. (may be less than actual maximum entered.)

Wow! The whole auction seems pretty goofy to me, which may be appropriate considering the item! 
I think I understand why the bids were allowed, though I'm not sure why a bidder would want to do it! Just curious, didn't happen in this auction, but if disneyfan had placed a $1 bid and then a $3 bid (with $0.99 showing as the winning bid in both cases), would ebay allow the bidder to then place a $2 bid, or would it need to be at least $3.01?

In my proxy days, and when the mood struck, I did something similar. I’d come in the last couple of days of an auction and little nibble my way up to high bidder, and then leave several more bids – even up to 100. You only need to increase your proxy bid by $1 to leave 100 one-cent higher bids. Even leaving 10 $5 increased bids will make things look off (or abnormal), and on a $500 auction that isn’t all that much money. It’s weird to see someone place 20 to 100 consecutive proxy-bids. I suspect that for some people, they think something is wrong and stay out of the auction. I suspect for other people, they see this as a challenge, and decide they are going to win. Maybe they’ll want to see if you are bluffing. Maybe they’ll turn a bidding war into a bidding crusade. Maybe they’ll talk about it on a sniping forum. This did cause me a bid-retraction, or two. This also caused me a question, or two from sellers. Why do it? Why not?
I do it on one of my non-sniping userids.
Bid, get to the highest bidder then bid again.
I like to play proxy, it makes bidding fun again.
