Yeah that happens a lot on Australian Ebay as well.
Last week I was bidding for a Commodore 64 disk drive. Just 10 minutes to go, and the max bid was $5.50. It finally sold for $56.
Didn't really care that I missed it, as $56 is way too much IMO. A few days ago I got a Commodore 64, disk drive, about 200 disks, some tape games, a tape player for $41 plus postage.
But yeah, it is annoying to see something with just a few minutes to go that looks like a real bargain, only for last minute bidders to drive the price up beyond what it is worth.
