Check the bid history, my point is proven. There is someone who wants that
machine for $1,060+That bidder is:i***l( 1259)
Obviously, he/she was determined to find the previous bidder's limit and then
exceed it, no matter what the item is worth.The lesson to be learned is this -
don't place a proxy bid for more than you are actually comfortable with paying,
because someone will try to get you to your max.
