And it was only TWO miles from my house! Test drove it, even! But, I got sniped with 15 seconds left. I was about to raise my bid, when "Sorry, the auction has ended" came up and the other guy nailed it. Oh, well.

Ebay will only use an amount high enough to beat the closest bidder. So, you can put in $500 and win the bid at $175 just because nobody bid higher.
That way, if you get beat, they were willing to pay more than you. It is more satisfying that thinking you should have raised your bid.

Another quality post.
