$10 as soon as I started watching the auction.
He goes in and changes it. It shows in the revision history.
You're not doing ebay watches, are you? Can't _imagine_ why anyone
would want to give ebay or the seller hard data on interest.
Why is that? I watch all kinds of items (hard to keep track otherwise). Some
I might bid on, others I just want to see the ending price. There are many
auctions with ebay watchers that never even bid the first time around.
Same here. On more than one occasion, if the item doesn't sell the
seller will relist it at a lower price.
...but that's much less likely to happen if they know there's a lot
of interest in the item, which is exactly what you're showing him/her
with a large number of watchers.
