Well yes, but I've found that although it won't tell me what the high bid currently is it won't let me place a bid lower, like if last persons max bid is 100 and I place a bid of 80 it says place a bid higher than 80, then I try 90 and it will say again try a bid higher than 90. So if my max is 200 someone will have to place a max bid of at least 200.01, am I getting this right? Because if that is the case you never end up paying a ridiculous amount unless a- there is a current bid and you just jump to something high without going up in increments to see what his max bid is near or b-the reserve price is high since that isn't disclosed and remains a mystery throughout.
