I have never understood the guy who places a sub $300 bid, on a gun that everyone with half a brain would know will sell for a lot more than that.... What is the purpose of that? Seems like a waste of time, but I suppose there are those, myself included... Who sometimes order the search by bid count, to see what guns are getting a lot of attention..... So, does that make it a schill bid?

I have done that, and hit a freaking homerun a couple of times! Every once in a while an auction item "falls through the cracks" and you almost literally steal an item.
It works in reverse sometimes when I'm selling.
