I've just done this on a whim, and while I fully expect to get outbid, there is only 40mins left and I'm still the highest bidder.

Is it just me who does stupid things like this?

Too much disposable income. 😉

There are others, apparently, so I doubt if you're alone.

Used to do this with a mate, eBay roulette if you will. Has to be something you dont want or need. Eventually gave up when I won a knackered old coffee table I didnt want.

Essentially that's what I am doing. I kid myself that if it goes wrong, I have got a bargain.

An expensive bargain 😡

Cheeky bloody kids.

There should be a random item button on eBay, like random article on wikipedia. For pure random purchase roulette.

Its worryingly addictive trying to lose an auction at the highest possible price

Innit. I bid £350, and I thought that was borderline.
