I could rant for days about people who start bidding on items days before the end.
As a seller, I love it, but as a buyer it drives me insane.
You'll see something like a nice frame go up with a $10 starting bid (WITH NO RESERVE) and within the first day idiots have run it up to over $500.
Some of this is due to shill bidding by sellers, but not the majority. Are there that many people out there who don't understand that the early bidder never wins?
