I find it strange that they are out-bidding each other like this when there are over 8 days left. I am not too experienced with bidding, but I thought that the normal strategy was to maybe place a placeholder bid if there is no activity, but more generally one waits until the last second to set a reasonably high bid. Going on a 1v1 with fast out-bidding over a week early seems bad for everyone except the seller. Perhaps someone can explain.
Dude I remember the hype around the last 5 mins of a GBA game auction on eBay, only to taste the disappointment when the price like doubled in the last 10 seconds

The bidding gets extra time when people place a bid near the end, so you can’t just snipe it.
Ah, bidding technology has advanced since I sniped Tony Hawk Pro-Skater for the Nintendo 64 on ebay. Why start bidding over a week early, though?
Nah eBay is still the same (sorry if I accidentally double posted)
