I just watched this auction:

Let's hop on over to newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148...

Yikes. I think I'll tick to ebay for my auctions.

BTW, I can't figure out who pays the $73.20 for the 122 bids. Where those the bids of the user? Or was that total bids from everyone?

To me, their "savings" window math implies that the 122 is the number of bids the winner placed; the winner only.
