go ebay - bid high and bid often ~ RHF

My point is that the last bid you place is the controlling number - you
will be bid up to that amount automatically by the proxy system on
Ebay. Whether you enter your high price as a series of sequential
small bids or one large one is irrelevant. The result and displayed
bid price will be the same.
