Right I’m not saying that sometimes bidding is bidding and obviously the one who wants to pay more will. I am simply putting it out there that over the course of literally hundreds if not thousands of auctions I’ve watched, those with early bids get more attention and more early bids, therefore are more likely to go for a higher price. I have no idea and couldn’t tell you why, though I think it’s simple human curiosity when one sees an amount close to a sale price and thinks “well I could go like $2-4 over that and be fine”. They do that, bid bumped up.
100% of auctions I have won for a steal were sniped. 90% of those had little to no attention before the last 15 minutes.
