DR....
I think he was speaking ebay talk.. and that is a totally foreign language.. LOL>>
basically translated.. you set you limit or max bid.. and then start it all going.. you can set it on an auto bid.. so as someone else bids .. you automatically outbid unless it goes over you max limit....
you do this as a means of determining the minimum bid on the product if one has been set by the seller..
you also do this to find out what the other bidders max is..
the last part was a strategy of final bid... it takes about 10 seconds for someone to react and the system to recognize they have been outbid...if you time it just right you can get the last bid in and the other person cant react in time..
at least thats my take on it..
