Why?

[Gem Lover]

Why on earth would you bid against yourself? Do these people not understand how bidding works? I bid on two different items this morning which I won but in both auctions two people bid against themselves 4 times in a row, they were Leslie and Michelle, either they do not know how this works or they are purposely driving up the price. If you are at $10 why would you bid 4 times in a row and bring it up to 14 when no one else was bidding at the time? The other raised the price by $8 against themselves.
