    Looking at it again, yeah. I think that’s exactly what’s happening.

    p_p raised to 800 and it immediately went up to 810 in favour of j_s. p_p then proceeded to raise by a hundred until 1600 with p_p automatically raising to that number + 10.

    So I think either there’s an autobid, some sort of script, or someone with no life involved.

      I think it might be the latter. I watched it for half an hour while JS was not in the lead, so I don’t think it’s automatic

        Actually, there’s a “How auctions work” link. It says:

        Sav will automatically proxy bid on your behalf when a bid more than the minimum required bid is submitted.

        I guess what you saw was just that j_s max bid was reached and had to be re-upped.
