I don't think I am the only ebayer to say to themselves, in an auction that I am interested in, Ok what kind of dumbass just jacked up all the bids in multiple small increments? Or actually if you think about it, is it someone that knows exactly what they are doing? and if so is that a fair thing to do to rest of interested potential bidders.
Oh geez, man, you're thinking too hard about this!
No, multiple bids don't draw my attention, items that I want draw my attention. I don't care what other bidders are doing. I have a good idea what I want, and what I'm willing to pay for it. I put items on my ebay "Watch List" if I'm interested or considering an item. If I'm serious about it, I head over to Bidnapper and commit. Bada bing, bada boom, move on to other things. I don't care about dumbasses jacking up bids, all I care about is what I'm willing to pay.
I also use a tool called SearchDome to create searches for stuff I'm looking for. I set up these searches, it checks for these items once every hour, and when they pop up on ebay, it shoots me an email alerting me of the auction.
