Weird Flippa Bidding Patterns

[dingdong]

Example:

Bidder 1: $100 (min bid)
Bidder 2: $200
Bidder 3: $4000 (WTF????????????????????????????????????)

Why would anyone bid so much above the current bidder? See this shit all the time on Flippa. WTF??????????????

Another example:
Min Bid = $20, no bids.
Then some guy comes in and bids $500 - FIRST BID! WTF??????????????????????????????????

That happens sometimes, but I think it's mostly sellers trying to pump their prices

That's the only reason I could think of!
