It's the same two imbecils at it again!
This sort of thing is upsetting and annoying for a couple of reasons. First and foremost is what it will do to the expectations of sellers in the future. Long after 4***t and r***r have satisfied their bizarre and expensive laundry detergent fetish, old boxes of Tide, Bold, Cheer... etc, will be found listed on eBay with $100.00 reserves and outrageous starting amounts in vain anticipation of another pair of brain dead morons willing to turn over foolishly large sums of money for otherwise ordinary things. Once these two characters move on the party's over. Prices will quickly return to normal.(I hope) Second, Never! Never! Never! get involved in a bidding war! All it does is drive the prices up, and the earlier it begins, the higher the prices go. Experienced bidders will wait until the closing moments of the auction and place the highest bid they are comfortable paying. If you win, great. If you lose, so be it. By bidding early(and high) you give the other bidders an opportunity to throw common sense out the window and surrender to their irrational desires to posses this 'thing' whatever the cost! Many years ago I was the imbecil that bid the price up against another bidder on a small assortment of obsolete European currency. Thank heavens I lost the auction. But over the next few days I came to realize that by losing, I actually won. I learned a valuable lesson. I wonder how much money these two goofballs will blow before they learn the same lesson?
