To be honest though, I don't understand why anyone bids in advance of the closing time. Okay, I guess if it closes at a really inconvenient hour it might be provident to place an auto-bid a little in advance, but why oh why would you bother bidding 5 days before the close? It's great for the seller (and I'm therefore happy for you that it's happening mr.fruit), but it can only drive the price up and in no way secures the item for you. I'm sure most people think this way as everytime I want to buy something there is a last-minute flurry of bidding, but still many people through their cash down way before the close-off. Go figure.
