I WAS A LONG TERM EX EMPLOYEE WHO REITRED FOR CLARIFICATION Don't ever put your maximum bid, they will themselves or 3rd party bid it up just over you max to increase sales. It's dishonest for example, there is 493 individual amazon tablets (auction taking place on items as I write this) the lots with lower bids haven't increased but if I bid on one ( I had 25 originally I was winning on) then the new bid would magically be a higher bid every day or so many hours. They ALWAYS do it and have been reported by several people I can see. It may not be illegal I do not know but it is dishonest so stay far away from them. This is done to try and drive profit margins as they have no reserve proce in them. As you will see a few days later the same products will be back up on a different auction room or generally a different one. Also check you electronics as they are crooks when it comes to taking pictures in certain lighting and angles to hide imperfections that are not om the details/listing.
