Why do people bother?

Honestly I don’t understand people.  Last week I set up a WP auctions ad on one of my other blogs to start selling my homemade jewelry.  Now, I got really excited and happy when I seen that I had a bid on one of my pieces.  It was a reasonable bid, so I really expected that it was a true bid.  Now I’m not so sure.  When I got up this morning and checked that blog to see how the bidding was going I had four fraudenlent bids on the account.  Now, I realize that my jewelry is worth something, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not worth over $2000.  That was the last bid.  And that bid came from the same name as the first bid so that is why I kind of think that the first bid wasn’t a true bid either.  Well I deleted all the fraudulent ones and left the first one, so I guess we will see.

But, I honestly don’t understand why people would waste their (and mine) time to place these outrageous bids.  Don’t they have anything better to do with their day??  What do they get out of it?  Obviously a person with a brain (and I think I have one) is going to realize that these are not true bidders and they are going to delete them (which I did).  Oh well, I guess it takes all kinds now doesn’t it?

    perhaps this bidder has a similar item up for bid and if yours is worth “over $2000″, so would his/hers… ? :-)
