Why do people bid on eBay auctions before the last 5 minutes? Don't they realize that being the top bidder at any point except when the auction closes is meaningless, right? It only serves to drive the price up. Grrr.
They are taking advantage of the fact that most people don't actually enter the maximum price they are willing to pay unless they're not the high bidder.
