OT - Ebay Bidding Tactics

If people just put in their maximum bid in the first place,
sniping would die away and sellers would get
their fair price.

Like most things, this is only true if everybody does it. The thing
about putting in your maximum bid at the outset, is that you are bid up
to the present maximum right away - i.e. if the other guy's maximum is
50, and your max is 75, you are bid right up to 51, alerting the other
guy that his guess that he could get it lower was wrong. So, by putting
in your "less than your max", you can outwit the other guy who put in
"less than his max".
