I know I tend to put my max bid on ebay in at a few pennies over a whole
bid - if I happen to think something is worth 10.00 say, I'll bid 10.03
just in case someone else also thinks the same; the auto bid will only go
up to your max, even if it's less than an increment over the previous
highest bid ... I've won a few auctions that way over people putting last
second bids in.
