At least 16 people on Ebay
Instead of watching my item until the end, why not fucking bid on it?

because the market for used butt plugs is small, but people like to look anyway

used butt plugs you say?
maybe there not BS 3 pin compatible and the reason there not selling is that they are in fact euro plugs?
or maybe you havnt cleaned the shit of them so the market for soiled butt plugs is much smaller?

Easy.
1. As I'm also watching several similar items and will bid on the one that looks like it might go cheapest.
2. I want to bid in the last 20 seconds and not give away that I want it to the current winning bidder.
3. I have something similar I would like to sell and I want to see how much yours goes for before I bother listing it. Or not.
4. I added it to my watch list when I was bored/drunk and now realise I don't want this particular piece of second hand tat, but I CBA to remove it from my watched list.

I could think of more if I could be bothered, but I can't.

Edit: Feel free to add to the list.

Also more people bidding early causes a bidding war
best tactic is to put in the highest price you are willing to go within the last few seconds. This will provide one of three outcomes

1. You get it cheaper than your highest bid and you are happy
2. You get it for exactly your highest bid and you are happy
3. You lose the auction but you weren't willing to pay that much anyway so you are happy.

If you bid your highest early you risk someone else deciding to bid higher than they would have.
