If you want to buy something, put in a reasonably large bid and take it.

with the
seller.
So if I see an auction at $10 and put in a speclative $20 (what I am willing
at the outset to bid) and the original reserve put the aution to $21. Then
you consider a few extra increments (I have done 5 extra before) above what
I initially guessed my limit at as poor form and warrenting an "idiot" tag?
