Let me clarify. For the sake of brevity I didn't explain completely. If I really want a particular vintage bike and all of my requirements have been met I'll punch in the big $$$. It's not something I do impulsively. I study the seller's pictures, ask questions about the bike and may even request additional pictures. I also do a bit of research on the particular bike to get a feel for its value. Prior to eBay implementing its anonymous bidder program I even studied bidding habits of my competitors for a particular bike or component. I tend to stay away from the crazies who get locked into a bidding war. There are also a few bidders with really deep pockets who insist upon paying outrageous prices for bikes and components. They are harder to identify now with the concealed identities. For that matter so are the shill bidders but that's a topic for another day.
