gtomo2:
A lot of it is down to the auto bidding programs you can get if you dont set a low up limit it just keeps going up everytime someone bids on it.

Sheddy:
Not always.  Sometime people get auction fever.  It happened to me when I sold off my darkroom gear, a lass in Scotland had set her heart on it and wouldn't be out bid.  The setup was worth about £150 (wet darkrooms equipment is dirt cheap now) but finally sold for £585 ..... and she told me that she had put in a proxy bid of £1k.  Shame it didn't go that high!

We had one the same as that, when we sold the rear seats from our old disco
Bids were about £110 then they bounced all the way up too £500!
They offered to pay via Western Union, claiming to send me a cheque for £2000 which i cash then send them the change.
Turns out it was a scam.
A Policeman who was watching my seats warned me about it and told me how it worked.
I declined their offer and sold them to the next highest bidder.
Be careful  :wink:
