I find buying products at auction fascinating.  Sites like ebay, if 
you shop, can see people paying more than what they could have from 
an online store in some cases (much more).

In those cases when you look at bid history, it often will have 
someone with a low feedback number, indicating they are newbies.

It's useful to do a search of completed auctions and determine the 
low end of what ACTUALLY sold (not all meets reserves) and gauge the 
difference from what you could pay any given day at an e-tailer.

I would never bid over the e-tailer price.
Usually that -shipping considerations -condition -percieved buyer 
risk.

It's also interesting when an e-tailer offers regularly with a 
reserve you can figure out the reserve by checking the low end of 
sales that went through and then work up to being high bidder without 
triggering the reserve.  Can get within $25 or so with some research.
