Why do they do it this way? One bidder must have spent 20 minutes bidding....lol
Think he'll be the winner in the end?

The bidder with 891 FB will one day claim he has "absolutely no idea" where that carpal tunnel syndrome came from.
6 days left.
Should calm down tomorrow, eh?

Some one will come along and put a bid in just to muck things up, jmo
That stuff is great for the seller. As a buyer, why not just place your max bid at the last minute? Why give the other bidders time to convince themselves to stretch…bid more than they originally wanted to?

Maybe they need to see where they stand in the bidding so to have an idea what max bid will work
The max bid is what you are willing to pay, no more, no less
You should already know that number!

I'd blame it on the cat lying on my keyboard.
I may snipe that one, just so I can dip that ugly tarnish off....

Inchworming his way to underbidder status.
It's probably one bidder with a high max, and the second bidder...
Put's in a bid.
eBay: You have been out bid. Do you want to bid $3 $4 $5.
Underbidder: Click on $3
eBay: High bid is $4. You have been out bid. Do you want to bid $5 $6 $7
Lather rinse repeat.
What I really hate is how easy it is on that app dialog to miss that you are now the HIGH bidder and keep clicking to push up your high bid unnecessarily.
Then again the UI is not designed to make it good for the bidder, but rather for eBay,

those bid boxes are relatively new is it because of smart phones or bored programmers?
My strategy is to go one increment at a time, even if it takes say, 30 bids to find out what the max bid is at the moment, I guess 3 were trying that?????

That design looks like transfer from the bag the coin resided in.
I just don't understand......................

That's what textile toning is.
$260 is barely wholesale price.
Is that what pecking order looks like?
Sometimes I see a high bidders name stacked up multiple times.
IF that's the case someone else may have been having fun helping the bidder spend their money.
891 high bidder stacked six deep.
I could jump in and give a demonstration, but I wouldn't want to be the high bidder at those prices.
He literally spent over 5 minutes placing incremental bids.
Textile toning is interesting as a bit of numismatic history, so I can see a small premium. Only rational explanation I can think of for this type of bidding is that each bidder is fishing, not knowing what a reasonable max bid should be. Even so, a tad bit early.
