In a nutshell, that was more or less what I started out complaining about: My own stupidity in using the "Max Bid" feature so that people would have a "challenge" to meet.

That was why I said I will NEVER use it again. Ever.

If I have to go to sleep or be away from the computer... I will just lose the items.

If there is NO DEFINITE end time for an auction and therefore NO WAY to snipe with a high bid at the end...

then the Max Bid thing is just like an EBay "reserve" price that challenges people to keep pecking away.
