[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1930524, member: 561023"] Here's a good example (the KAC-PS500F 4ch amp I run): It was an eBay score that I sniped at 3 seconds left on the auction clock. I bid $200. The closest underbidder had only proxied $80 so eBay only used $81 of my $200 bid to go above the next-closest bid. Said underbidder sent me an email immediately after the listing was over (while I was in the process of PayPaling the funds to the seller) asking would I sell it to him for $200. Had that bidder actually dedicated what he was honestly willing to spend (and his communication to me makes a pretty strong case for him being willing to spend at least $200) then I would not have won that listing. If he had proxied $200 instead of $80 my $200 snipe bid would have lost.
