Therefore you could place 100 bids with one penny increments raising your bid by only only a dollar in an effort to intimidate other bidders without putting yourself at risk.
I hope this bidder is not on this board or else next week we will talking about the Ebay item with 1000 bids.

Also i would add that i think the seller is in on this type of crazy bidding too-i'll tell you why: if that was my auction i would have cancelled that bidder's bids for fear that he may scare away my real buyers. plus you were able to figure out where the bidding was at anyway Frank, so if i was the seller i would look like a total scammer. i don't know why he just doesn't list the card for the price he actually wants or just slightly more so that he could have room to deal
