Peter, I have little doubt that a small but significant minority of bidders forget about the BP, taxes, and gouge-level shipping (excepting from the latter the AHS who have adopted flat-rate shipping), especially when making that last bid in the dead of night. I made a late bid in REA the other night and won the card, and I knew but did not really appreciate that my $160 bid became a $202 bill. Had the bid shown as $192 instead of $160 it might have given me pause.
