I can never understand why people bid before the last minute of an ebay auction. Surely all you do is keep the total ticking-over.......there is nothing to be gained by it (from a buyers perspective). If you want to make your purchase cheaper dont bid till the near-death of the auction. As a pinball community lets consider making this an unwritten rule. It would suck if a few of us had interest in a particular machine, and due to competitiveness? or some belief that if your in the lead you are more likely to win?...........that we just end-up having machines cost us more.
