Got to agree. Anybody planning to bid so high would be smart enough to be awaiting to snipe this item. Nobody likes to get into a bidding war on Ebay. The best time to bid is t-minus 8 seconds.

We’re not talking about a golf club or a guitar.

This is far from a normal auction. This is a PR move and a snub to the Senate Dems and the MSM.

The people doing the bidding aren’t interested in keeping the price low - in fact they want to be as visible as possible but eBay’s recent policy changes mean the names/IDs are obscured.

The auction creator had the option to make bid amounts private (as they often are on high-priced items) but of course they didn’t.

The point is not getting a bargain - the point is pegging the price as high as it will go in order to attract the attention of everyone including (if they ever wake up) the MSM and of course the Dems.

Funny you should mention that. I won the bid for a car in the last 18 seconds.
