Default Outing my own auction lot.

Guys, this is not self-promotion. Just check the bid history. Weird:

I have always theorized that this is a simple intimidation technique. It makes other potential bidders think they're in for a fight on the item when they see X number of bids placed. But it's just one guy.

When I clicked on your listing, there was a Froot Loops ad.

That bidder is a Froot Loop

Default Looking for the reserve? (gee, maybe it's $63....maybe it's $64...)

Obviously a gomer with way too much time on his hands.

All you have to do is keep on hitting next bid increment each time. Takes about 15 seconds to place that many bids.

It could be a strategy - scare away bidders by posing as a schill?
