Well what the ---- is it $575 in the buyandsell for?

Looks like a good camera judging by the rating at www.dpreview.com

Visions you say :) .

Might have to go check that out.

I think I'll get mine when I head up to Edmonton tommorow. :smile:

Increments are used when maximum bids have not been reached yet. Let's say bidding starts at $250. At $250, the increments are $5. Let's say your max bid was $400. Well, the current bid would then be $250 (your bid is the first bid).

Now, let's say John also wants the camera. His minimum bid would have to be $255 (EBAY will not let him bid a lessor amount such as $250.11 because the increment is $5). So let's say John places his maximum bid at $255 (which happens to be the minimum that EBAY allows). But you already have a bid of $255 so the highest bid now is $255 for you.

Now Jane comes along and also wants that camera and she puts in a maximum bid of $401.16. Well, $401.16 beats your 400 so she gets it for $401.16.

Its a little confusing but the increments are used only when the maximum bids of a bidder has not been reached yet. Once the maximum bid has been reached, you can beat the bid by 1 penny and win.

So hopefully, this example shows when the increment is used and when it is not used. You can read more in the link below:

In your auction, had your maximum bid have been $450.11, you would have won by a penny even though the increment was $5 (according to Ebay's chart).
