It seems that on Ebay you can't view bidding history anymore without logging in.

Why does anyone ever bid on anything on ebay, before the last 5 minutes? What's the point? I'll never understand this.

If you are 1***3 it's because your brother is selling a purple paul derailleur and has agreed to give you half if the price tops 1k

I started using gixen to snipe, less for strategy and more because i could test out buyers remorse. Step one, Input a gixen bid. Step two, immediately regret it. Step three, cancel the gixen bidthat is exactly the ONLY reason it makes sense, which then brings me to my next ebay question... why does anyone bother with a reserve
But i guess i also have a pretty good idea of what I'm willing to fork out for something, but also know i can be tempted...
It's just way less stress

I was just about to comment on that. This is why I like to see bidding history.If you are 1***3 it's because your brother is selling a purple paul derailleur and has agreed to give you half if the price tops 1k
Is the figure in brackets the amount of feedback? If yes then it looks like a throwaway Ebay account, created specifically to push the price up on that one item.

Yup
Definitely only for garage queens. I bought a Pace which had one on. Took it for a muddy ride in the Trough of Bowland, feckin' hopeless. Also sold a purple one back in 2013 for a lot less. That's retro inflation for ya
