What really cracks me up is the guy's out there that start a bid of $5     WHY ?
There was a AF on eBay the other day and some guy started with $10 

I was the $5 bidder and the reason is this:

Bidding on an auction is another way of 'watching' an item.

I watch alot of items from many different categories and it is easy to miss auctions but if I bid on them, they are seperated from this watch list and I can be more selective in marking those auctions.

So for me it is another way of marking an auction :)
