[time-nuts] OT: eBay bidding question

[Jason Rabel]

Some people put the maximum amount they are willing to pay and let it ride.
Others like to bid in smaller amounts (and maybe more impulse bidders).

When you see the bidder numbers out of sequence it is because of the above
reasons. An earlier bidder puts in their max bid, then someone else comes
along and puts in lower prices that do not out-bid the previous person.

When you see two bidder with the same price, it is because that is the max
of the first person's bid, and also the same amount the next person bid. The
earlier bid date wins (if that ever happens to you when bidding, common
sense would say bid $1 more and you would be the current high bidder).

It would probably make more sense if you could sort the columns, that way
you could do it based on date.
