"I'm just completely dumbfounded why people bid on items with days to go. This
is essentialy eliminating the "good deal" area to a very small margin."

Couldn't agree with you more. For high-demand items, I'm one of those people who comes out of nowhere in the last 30 seconds with a "blow-everyone-out-of-the-water" bid. I've found this to be the most effective strategy, as other bidders are lulled into a false sense of security and I rarely end up paying even close to my bid amount because no one else has time to react.
