I have no plans to go, or bid. I just like to watch these as they progress. We are now in the "hopeful" stage of the sale. This is where folks bid on many many items at super low bids with the "hope" it doesn't pick up any other bids.
Don't laugh, every auction has something with value that just doesn't get in anyone else's crosshairs, and some lucky dood gets something cool for 10 bux.
Then much of the regular auction happens.
The most fun for me is the too much testosterone bidder which happens at the end. It's where a bidder is looking at something as HIS before the sale is over, and damned if you are gonna outbid ME. Hook up 2 of those guys, and one item they both want, and stand back. Auctioneers wish we were all in this super aggressive mode all the time. I find it hilarious to see happening. I always wonder do they finally come to their senses, and if they do I wonder if they call the Credit Card company to see if they can stop the charges. This after filling out the forms saying yes, yes they know they are responsible for all purchases, yada yada yada,
Then you get scads of peeps with NO idea of value of anything, and NO plans whatsoever to do some research. They make retail price look like a distant memory on the cost of items, ZOOOM right past retail, here comes ridiculous.
I am strange. I realize this, but auction watching is pretty harmless, give it a try. :-)
