It does fascinate me how quickly a lot in their auctions will skyrocket to within 10-20% of its final bid. There must be some reason for this feeding frenzy. Most auctions are just the opposite, with lots relatively dormant until the end. I think it's a tribute to the sheer volume and amazing quality of their material that bidders can't get their bids in fast enough. I started bidding at 11:15 EST, 15 minutes after it started, and almost everything I bid on already had multiple bids and in some cases was already triple its opening.
