I did not expect the price to grow like that. How often does the price of something on Ebay multiply by 5 in the last day?

If the price is "good" and there are more than a couple bidders, then it's almost certain to descend into bidding wars at the last minute.

Bidding wars. Do people bid more than once? The highest bidder only pays the second highest bid. So increasing the bid multiple times should have no advantage over putting in the highest price one is okay with paying just once.

The bidding history is public and you can see they do anyway: https://www.ebay.com/bfl/viewbids/235810037931?item=235810037931&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m145235.l2565

Good Morning 44kgk1lkf6u, I agree and I enter the absolute highest I would pay and let Ebay increase the bids for me automatically. If the price increases beyond what I would pay, then I was not meant to have it. The last minute bidding wars make no sense at all. :popcorn:
