That's a great observation - the reason could be that there aren't many examples to understand that when SOMEONE finally pulls the trigger, it's too late to cry about it and the value is what ever the BIN was when said person pulled the trigger.

I follow different auctions for ebay and AHs because I have my perception of what I think somethings worth and I like to see how close I am when the bodies hit the floor (end of auction).

Those numbers don't influence me because of the reasons indicated. If I want to bid on something, I will. If my max bid is exceeded then I guess I didn't want the item bad enough to go "all in" on it.
